Series Description:
This heart-warming series follows caregivers and loved ones as they find comfort and connection through cooking. From simple meals to cherished traditions, food sparks memories, and strengthen bonds. The idea for the series came from the producer Leanne Allen’s memory of her caregiving relationship with her mother. They cooked together a lot.

Episode Description: Grilled Cheese Fiasco:
Wes Borg is a caregiver to Kathy Henshaw, who joined his Victoria theatre group called The Deviants ten years ago. Kathy’s developmental disabilities have meant she’s led an extremely sheltered life, but now that she’s 65 years old, Kathy’s eager to try anything new, from watching action movies to . . . well, a version of tomato soup that’s much fancier than the canned type she’s familiar with, and a grilled cheese sandwich that includes not only three types of cheese, but her dreaded menu item – bacon.
Produced by Victoria-based LA Productions and produced with the participation of TELUS Fund http://www.telusfund.ca
