MasterChef Competition Brings Flavour and Fun to Castledare

This week, Catholic Homes brought plenty of energy, creativity and flavour to Castledare, hosting a MasterChef-style cooking competition as part of Nutrition & Hydration Week.

Residents and staff from across our homes came together for a fun and engaging mystery box challenge, highlighting the important role food plays in wellbeing, connection and daily life.

A big congratulations to St Vincent’s Residential Care, Guildford, who took out the Best Chef title on the day as “The Aubergines.” 👏

St Mary Glowrey (“Simply the Zest”) were our runners-up, and also won the Best Table Setting competition.

We also saw fantastic participation from:

Beyond the cooking competition, the day included a nutrition talk on protein, a smoothie demonstration, interactive food quizzes, and a shared lunch enjoyed by all.

It was wonderful to see residents and staff working together, sharing laughs and showcasing their creativity.

Events like this are a great reminder of how meaningful dining experiences can support both health and social connection. View photos from the day below:
