The John Lewis Partnership is made up of two brands, John Lewis and Waitrose. As a Fostering Friendly employer, the organisation understands that "home" is more than just a place; it’s the warmth, comfort, and stability we create for one another.
Fostering is often found in the small, everyday moments. We believe that having a seat at the table is one of the first steps toward feeling truly at home, which is why we’re working with the John Lewis Partnership to celebrate the power of a shared meal.
To support this, we’ve highlighted some Waitrose recipes below that are perfect for foster and kinship families, focusing on nutritious, uncomplicated food for the whole family to enjoy.
Whether you’re cooking together on a rainy afternoon or need a quick meal after a busy day, here is a selection of favourites from Waitrose Nutritionists.
They are about more than just food; they are a way to bond in the kitchen and create those "kitchen-table memories" that help a child feel safe and settled. It’s all about simple food and a welcoming home, letting you focus on what really matters: your time together.
