Abstract
Culinary considerations are factors to contemplate when preparing beverages and foods for the aging to help improve flavor and dining experiences. This chapter discusses culinary strategies that address changes in taste and smell during aging that may be individualized for specific needs, with exceptions for certain conditions and diseases. As baby boomers age, they may carry assorted food memories, ethnic cuisines, novel beverages and foods and numerous diets “to the table”. These departures may bring various concerns for meeting food and nutritional needs and preferences. Since some aging people are living healthier and longer lives, many are relatively fit, functional and independent. One set of culinary approaches for healthy aging people compared to those with disease states may neither exist nor be practical. By employing a “food first” mindset as this chapter exposes, some aspects of taste may be rediscovered, meal enjoyment may prosper and health and wellbeing may rejuvenate.
