At Clarendale West End we believe that great food brings people together, and this month, our residents proved that in the most delicious way.
We recently launched our first-ever Resident Recipe Contest, inviting residents to submit their favorite homemade dishes for a chance to be featured on our menus. From soups to entrées to desserts, the creativity (and heart!) behind each submission was incredible.
After all the votes were counted, we’re excited to announce our winner:
🥇 Winner: Veal Stew with Dumplings
Congratulations to Ms. Carol, whose comforting and beautifully balanced dish reigned supreme! Her recipe will be featured on our December Peabody Restaurant menu.
🥈 Runner-Up: Falafel
A very close second goes to Ms. Hanni, whose flavorful falafel will appear in our Mockingbird restaurant concept.
A huge thank you to all participants for sharing their culinary traditions with us. Dishes submitted included:
• Pork Steaks with Corn Casserole
• Veal Stew with Dumplings
• Chocolate Mousse
• Falafel
• Pumpkin Soup
This contest was a wonderful reminder of why we do what we do : creating meaningful, engaging, and joyful dining experiences for our residents every day.
Here’s to more community-led culinary moments ahead! 🍽️✨
