The favourite family recipes of residents in Serenitas’ over 50s land lease communities has been turned into a Mother’s Day cookbook for the second successive year.
“The Mother’s Day cookbook was a huge success last year, celebrating the many wonderful home cooks within our communities and paying homage to the many women, past and present, who have made a significant and lasting impact in our lives,” said CEO Rob Nichols.
“Due to popular demand and the overwhelming positive feedback, we have created a new Mother’s Day cookbook, this time with a focus on sweets and treats, because it’s the right of every mum, grandma and great grandma to spoil loved ones.”
All the recipes in the Sweet Moments Cookbook embody meaningful moments and capture the love that is synonymous with our mothers’ powerful presence in our lives.
Robyn Gartrell, from National Lifestyle Villages’ Tuart Lakes resort in Baldivis, 46km south of Perth, grew up living far out of town so popping down to the shops wasn’t an option. Her mum often had to make do with what was in the pantry and so Robyn’s Mystery Cake is created using a can of tomato soup.
“About ten years ago I got out all my old recipe cards, the yellow kind that we used to write recipes on and keep in a plastic box. I sat down for about two months and handwrote each of my recipes for all my three children and gave it to them all as gifts.
“My daughter told me it was the best gift she had ever received, and that means the world to me as her mother.”
With over 20 recipes from Serenitas homeowners and staff, the Mother’s Day Sweet Moments Cookbook features favourite go-to recipes that are perfect for when you need to quickly whip up a batch of biscuits or slice, bake a celebratory cake or decorate a flan, and everything in between.
