Please enjoy this episode of The Resilient Caregiver Podcast where we empower those who serve people diagnosed with dementia by providing unbiased information and the encouragement necessary to maintain Caregiver wellness.

From there, she went on to manage several restaurants in some of New York’s most elite, luxury hotels. She owns The Hungry Gnome Catering & Baked Goods and produces wholesale baked goods for cafes and businesses as well as provides off premise, full-service catering (www.ThehungrygnomeNY.com). She won the “Chopped Challenge” moderated by Food Network’s Ted Allen, appeared on Spike TV’s “Frankenfood,” is featured on the Food Network’s App called Food Network Kitchen, and competed in HBO Max’s The Big Brunch. She’ll have you and yours asking if you #GotRoomForMore?

We’re so grateful Chef Danielle took time out of her schedule to share how her relationship with her grandparents profoundly impacted her love of cooking. She offers some key insights and encouragement to all our listening care partners who provide support to those in their lives with dementia.
