Cooking Podcasts Give the Elderly Entertainment and Insights

Written By: Tom Crowe

So, so many amazing moments with family and friends happen in the kitchen. Great stories are told, and memories are made around a great plate of food, lovingly prepared. This can and should continue when in need of senior care! Studio City, CA families can certainly tell their fair share of great kitchen-based stories.

Nowadays we can get not only great stories, but fantastic tips on cooking in general, and how to do specific recipes, from podcasts. Whether you or your loved one can handle all cooking duties, or needs residential assisted living, like 24-hour elderly care or just occasional companions for elderly persons, Studio City, CA has a world-class option in Home Instead. The licensed, bonded, trained, compassionate CAREGivers of Home Instead will help find the best podcasts, and can help cook the meals that the podcasters are talking about!

Keep in mind also, even if your loved one is afflicted with a chronic health condition that makes cooking impossible, or they need Alzheimers elderly care or dementia elderly care, Studio City, CA’s finest, Home Instead can help with that, too.

But to help out with finding some of the great podcasts, here are some to look up at Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google, Stitcher, or wherever podcasts can be found.

First is the Kitchen Counter Podcast. The host, Roger, goes through step-by-step how-to instructions for such tasty and easier-than-you-might-think dishes like shrimp étouffée, chicken marsala, potatoes au gratin, and others. He also will walk listeners through some techniques and styles of cooking rather than just specific recipes.

Another great podcast for lovers of food and great cooking is the Home Cooking Podcast. Co-hosts Hrishikesh Hirway and Samin Nosrat previously produced the four-part miniseries Salt Fat Acid Heat, and they decided to join forces on this podcast series after the COVID-19 pandemic began to help people stranded at home think of new and exciting things to do with food they might have stockpiled in the pantry. It is a fun and interesting conversation, and frequently unexpected.

The three co-hosts of the Local Mouthful podcast take a curious approach to cooking — interesting new ways to use common ingredients, news about food, and even some product reviews to keep things lively. Don’t miss the Local Mouthful podcast for a great conversation among home cooks, for home cooks.

And a fourth podcast we’ll mention is Tanya’s Table. Chef Tanya Holland has decades of experience in the food industry — and more as a lover of good food and the great moments that it can bring about! She talks food, history, culture, cooking tips, and how these all can come together with some of the most interesting people in food today.

But however you get your podcasts (or if you need help with that), when it comes to getting help with cooking or most anything else around the house, contact Home Instead today for a virtual or in-home assessment. Call us at (818) 805-2208.
