For people who are prescribed puree diets, meal presentation and recognition is as fundamental to them, as the food itself.

After all, we all eat with our eyes first, don’t we? 

Here at Hcsuk we understand that preparing visually appealing, appetising pureed meals can be challenging, however, the outcomes which can result in investing and getting this right, means a win win for everyone!:

• Improved dignity and enjoyment at mealtimes

• Increased nutritional intake

• Reduced food wastage

• Greater job satisfaction for your staff

• Improved resident and relative satisfaction

We’ve recently received a number of requests for food mould ‘starter kits’ to enable people to give moulding pureed food a try, and have a taste of what can be achieved, pardon the pun! 

So, our Business Support Administrator Donna, came up with the idea of creating complete meal solution tool kits based on some classic favourite comfort food recipes, as we head into those Autumnal evenings.

Investing in our Dysphagia Complete Meal Solution Toolkits will provide you with all the tools you need to transform an unappetising pureed meal into a visually appealing, appetising, and comforting traditional favourite dinner for people you support with Dysphagia or swallowing difficulties.

The following yummy meal toolkits are now available to purchase from our website:

In The Dysphagia Roast Dinner Toolkit, as an example, you will receive the following:

• Chicken Breast Silicone Food Mould

• Broccoli Silicone Food Mould

• Carrot Silicone Food Mould

• Rice Silicone Food Mould

• 1 x 1kg Tub Nutrisis Food Thickener

• A copy of our essential ‘How To Mould Puree Food Guide’

And who doesn’t love a meal deal! 

But don’t just take our word for it, here’s what Mrs Dewey, one of food mould customers told us after purchasing food moulds for her daughter aged 12 who has complex needs:

‘I had only previously been able to give my daughter pureed or mashed food which she wasn’t interested in, and I had to assist her with her meals.  When she first saw her ‘food moulded’ dinner she shouted ‘carrots!’ The next time she asked ‘what’s that, what’s that?’ as she wanted to know what every bit of food was on her plate while SHE used a fork to scoop up individual pieces of dinner into her mouth with glee. My daughter was beginning to enjoy her mealtimes and become more independent, because of the moulded food’
