Abstract
The author uses her background in social work and social anthropology to argue that food does and should play a key role in fostering households. She draws on examples of good practice from the UK, Sweden and Japan to illustrate how the everyday strategies used by some carers can build bonds and relationships, create positive identities and a sense of belonging, and provide preparation for independence. Such practice merits serious attention in foster care training as it has the potential to support carers to promote development of all the social and emotional skills required for a healthy adulthood.
