My Nanny loved baked custard! It's also a good source of protein with all the eggs in it!

What a thoughtful question! Bringing the right foods can make mealtime much more enjoyable for your mother. There are plenty of delicious soft food options that are both safe and nutritious.

Here are some great choices to consider:

- Yogurt (plain or with soft mix-ins)
- Oatmeal or soft porridge
- Applesauce
- Smoothies or milkshakes
- Soups and broths
- Baked fish
- Soft fruits like bananas or canned peaches
- Cheese (soft varieties)
- Scrambled eggs
- Mashed vegetables or mashed potatoes To make food even more appealing, try adding herbs, sauces, gravies, or a little honey or syrup for extra flavor. If she has a sweet tooth, naturally sweet foods like ripe fruit are a lovely treat.

Serving smaller portions more frequently throughout the day, rather than three large meals, can also help. Always check the temperature of food before serving, as it can be hard to tell if something is too hot.

If you're ever unsure about specific textures or nutritional needs, a dietitian can offer personalized guidance tailored to her needs.
