At apetito HFS, we’re proud to have a team that’s passionate about creating nutritious, delicious meals for those in need. Jessica Kendall, one of our talented product developers, shares her journey and love for cooking: "I have always had a passion for cooking and creating recipes! Ever since I got my first Easy Bake Oven when I was young, I loved putting ingredients together and ending up with something delicious to eat 😊 While studying Culinary Management at Algonquin College, I was able to participate in the Canadian Culinary Championships, and work along side the competing chef from Nova Scotia. It was an amazing experience to see chefs from across Canada, creating unique and delicious dishes. Working with apetito HFS, has given me the opportunity to develop healthy and nutritious recipes that are served across Canada, that improve the well-being of vulnerable people in the healthcare sector, and seniors at home. I have had the opportunity to work on recipes in our healthcare range for hospitals, Heart to Home Meals and Meals on Wheels. It is very rewarding and motivating to be able to create flavourful recipes, that encourage a balanced diet and are designed with essential nutrients. One of my favorite recipes is our Chili Con Carne, which is available in our healthcare range. It is a Mexican inspired stew, loaded with beef, tomatoes, peppers, onions and kidney beans, and seasoned with the perfect amount of spices and just the right amount of heat!" We’re so excited to share Jessica’s dedication to making a real difference through food!

The holiday season is a time for warmth, togetherness, and the comforting flavors we all know and love.

In healthcare, mealtime should be about more than just nutrition—it should also provide comfort and dignity. Yet for individuals who live with dysphagia, the lack of suitable food options often strips away the joy of dining, turning meals into challenges rather than moments to savor. At apetito HFS, we understand the importance of offering solutions that address this critical issue. Our texture-modified range are thoughtfully designed to ensure safety, flavor, and visual appeal, so that every individual can experience the dignity of enjoying their food. We strive to support healthcare professionals by creating products that elevate patient care, simplifying mealtime, and ensuring nutritional needs are met, all while providing a positive dining experience. Because, ultimately, it's about more than just the nutrients on a plate—it's about enhancing well-being and restoring joy to every mealtime. How do you ensure your patients enjoy their meals with dignity? Share your insights below 💬!
