DESCRIPTION:Come and join us at the Manchester Food and Drink Festival in
  Albert Square on Wednesday 4th October 3pm-5pm.\n\nThis interactive coo
 king demonstration and taster session will bring together organisations 
 involved in tackling food poverty\, reducing food waste and older people
  sharing their recipes\nand cooking skills. Research has highlighted how
  some lower income older households are facing a ‘heating or eating’ dil
 emma of having to choose between spending money on food or heating their
  homes during the winter months. \nWhilst many older people (aged 50 yea
 rs and older) in the UK have been less affected by the recent recession 
 than other age groups poverty can persist in old age. 1.6 million UK pen
 sioners live below the poverty line. Older people often have\na reduced 
 appetite\, lower energy use\, lower biological and physiological functio
 ns and can have reduced senses of smell and taste. Under-nutrition can l
 ead to poorer health outcomes\,\nfalls and fractures\, delays in recover
 y from illness as well as longer periods in hospital.\n\nFood is more th
 an just nutrition\; it is an important part of people’s identities and f
 amily life. But nearly 4 million older people live alone! You are invite
 d to come along to try cooking some of the\nrecipes and taste the food c
 ooked. The event will include older people demonstrating their favourite
  recipes including those they remember from childhood\, which they still
  cook now.\nThe project brings together researchers and dieticians from 
 the University of Manchester\, Cracking Good Food\, Fareshare Greater Ma
 nchester\, the chef Maz Linford and older people\nfrom across Manchester
 .
