Fit to Eat is a project all about learning to eat safely and
healthily. People with learning difficulties got together in
workshops to talk about the things they found really hard about
cooking, cleaning and eating healthily. This gave us the
ideas for a great information pack called 'FIT TO EAT'.
Each pack contains four large and easy to understand information
leaflets on cooking, cleaning, chilling and healthy eating as well
as a DVD. Also in the pack are a lot of helpful things like a
fridge thermometer, cleaning cloths, a magnetic cleaning checklist
and a magnifying glass.
To help with cooking the pack has three large easy to understand
recipe cards for spaghetti bolognaise, tomato dahl and shepards
pie. The project was funded by a grant from the food
standards agency and devised in partnership with Lifeskills for
living, B&NES council and Connections Day Services.
