Preferences and individual restrictions both matter.

How to do it

An original activity to try, adapt or skip for your circumstances; outcomes are not guaranteed.

  2. Let the person choose among options their clinician or dietitian has confirmed suitable.
  3. Prepare it as directed and contact the care team about eating or swallowing difficulties rather than improvising.
