Food at Pyareo Home
Pyareo Kitchen
Pyareo Home's kitchen is the heart of the home and is in many ways its center. Everyday during the week the dedicated culinary staff is in the kitchen putting together the natural ingredients that create the delicious and hearty meals that keep everybody running.
The diet is lacto-vegetarian - that is, vegetarian with milk products. It can easily accommodate a vegan regime.
We use mostly organic fresh vegetables - some grown in our own garden - grains and beans whenever possible; simple foods made from scratch with care and purpose. The chef and assistant cooks at Pyareo have wide-ranging experience cooking a vegetarian cuisine, and their experience translates daily into beautiful, tasty, wholesome meals. Our chef plans each resident’s meals to suit each one’s dietary needs and preferences.
We have witnessed that the health of many residents improved while living here.
"Behold, I have given you every herb upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed: to you it shall be for meat."

Mealtime is the time when the dear ones come together, meeting in the great room where we share the stories of our lives over food. It is here we celebrate holidays together; where we celebrate birthdays. Those birthdays represent lives lived long and full and deserve appreciation and acclaim! The kitchen has become famous for its delectable desserts and delicious meals! Families of residents are invited and encouraged to share meals with the dear ones on those special occasions or whenever they find pleasing.
