Flavours of
Cumberland View
For many of us, food is such a joyful part of our daily life, and the quality of our food contributes to our overall physical and mental well-being. At Cumberland View Aged Care, residents enjoy the variety of foods on the menu as crafted by our wonderful Head Chef, Sumith, and the kitchen team.
Sumith has been Head Chef at Cumberland View since September 2021, and has formed special relationships with many residents to prepare and deliver high-quality food at every meal.
Sumith tells us that the design of the menu consists of two options for lunch; including one protein, or a light, vegetarian option, and dinner consists of three options, including sandwiches. Sumith says, ‘Each choice is based on nutrition, taste and of course feedback from our residents.’ He also tells us that the kitchen cater for all dietary requirements including significant cultural dishes.
‘Our highest priority is residents’ choice and feedback when choosing a new menu,’ he says. ‘We send out a list of 10 possible meals for our new fresh menu and the top six votes are then offered during a special “tasting session” held in our concert area. It’s a great chance for face-to-face feedback.’
