Just so many amazing moments with friends and family take place around the kitchen table. Memorable events unfold, and so many stories are told around a great plate of food, especially one that is lovingly prepared. This continues even after one is in need of elderly care! Ventura, CA families certainly have their fair share of great stories straight from the kitchen.

Today’s home chef can find both great stories as well as fantastic cooking tips, plus how to prepare specific dishes, from podcasts. Whether or not you or your loved one can handle all cooking duties, or if there is a need for senior care service, like live-in caregivers for seniors or just occasional services for senior home care, Ventura, 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 dementia elderly care or Alzheimers elderly care, Ventura, 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.

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.

Another great podcast for lovers of food and great cooking 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.

And a fourth podcast we’ll mention 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.

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 (805) 429-9789.
