Elly and Kelvin's story

Jamie Oliver watch out!!!

When Elly and Kelvin married, one of the first things they did after moving into their new home was to develop their cooking skills.

Once Elly's confidence grew, she wanted to extend her range of dishes by getting new recipes from her Hft support worker. To help her remember the recipes, Elly and her support worker came up with a clever idea. Kelvin was given the job of recording each step on a digital camera as she cooked the meals for the first time with her support worker. As a result, she has her very own, individual cookery book.

Now Elly and Kelvin enjoy nothing better than settling in for the night in front of the TV with a plate of delicious home cooked food.

Creative ideas, fulfilling lives.
