World Food Day at Ivy Court

ivy court world food day

The team at Ivy Court Nursing Home in Norwich recently celebrated World Food Day by bringing in dishes from their home countries for a buffet, aiming to raise awareness about world hunger. It was also a great opportunity to celebrate the many cultures of the Ivy Court team.

Home manager, Ovi, wellbeing coordinator, Diana, and nurse, Adrian, are all from Romania. Diana brought in some Sarmale, a delicacy served during celebratory times, with pork, rice and bacon wrapped in a cabbage roll. Her Romanian crescent butter cookies were also a favourite with residents and the team.

Ovi fired up the grill in the garden, cooking smoked ribs and ‘mici’, a traditional dish consisting of ground beef and pork and a mixture of fragrant spices.

Justyna brought in some traditional Polish dumplings and Vergilio and Grace shared the delicious cuisine of the Philippines; their chicken noodles and pork adobo went down a treat with everyone.

The whole team did a great job, putting together a huge buffet of amazing dishes representing the many nations of the Ivy Court team, also including Nigeria, Kenya and India.

Ivy Court are so proud to have such a culturally diverse team as well as some great cooks! The team pulled together once again for a successful day dedicated to a very special cause.
