Author(s)	Jill Manthorpe, Roger Watson, Anne Stimpson
Journal title	Journal of Dementia Care, vol 11, no 5, Sept/Oct 2003
Pages	pp 16-18
Keywords	Dementia ; Symptoms ; Feeding capacity ; Food preparation ; Cooking ; Family care ; Attitude.
Annotation	The authors draw on carers' accounts of helping a person with dementia to eat and drink. These accounts indicate that, with the benefit of hindsight, cooking was one of the areas where early signs of dementia were evident to family members. This article is the third in a series of occasional articles in Journal of Dementia Care focusing on family carers' perspectives. The original survey report, "Food for thought", was published by the Alzheimer's Society in 2000, and is on the Society's website, www.alzheimers.org.uk (RH).
