Aurrum Food Ambassador Karen Martini Launches New Menu Items for Residents

on Monday, October 17, 2016

Aurrum Aged Care Food Ambassador Karen Martini has launched new menu items for residents.

Karen has worked closely with Aurrum’s in-house dietitian, on-site chefs and catering staff to create the new dishes, which will be rolled out at all Aurrum residences over the coming months.

In September, Karen conducted two master classes with the Head Chef and kitchen teams at Aurrum Erina (NSW) and Aurrum Healesville (VIC) to train them on the preparation of the new menu items.

Twelve residents at both homes were then given the opportunity to sample some of the dishes and not surprisingly, the feedback was very positive.

Some of Karen’s delicious new creations include Crispy Potato Roesti with horseradish, Roast Chicken Noodle Soup, Greek Roast Chicken with smashed potatoes, Roman Semolina Gnocchi, Rockling Curry, Curried Tubetti with Cauliflower & Tuna, Rooty Toot Vegetable Soup, Rosewater Panna Cotta with Roasted Rhubarb & Strawberries, Pineapple Salad with passion fruit jelly and coconut cream and Apple and Blackberry crumble.

Karen said her new offerings were based on her food philosophy and passion, which is to “use great food as a way to bring people together to create memorable experiences.”

Aurrum Chairman David Di Pilla said, “Meal times are often the highlight of the day for our residents, so it’s important that we offer interesting, tasty and wholesome meals.

The new selection of Karen Martini designed menu options combined with our broader menu creates a truly nutritious and gourmet food experience for our residents.”
