Abstract
This chapter deals with food used to prepare meals in the private households of older people. At first, attention is given to the different types of food available and used to prepare meals at home, focusing on meal preparation and the use of convenience foods in later life. Successively, attention is paid to the factors that determine and influence meal preparation and food choice, or changes and problems with regard to meal preparation in old age. Finally, empirical findings from the European project Food in Later Life, concerning foods which ease meal preparation, are summarized.
