Heights Crossing, an assisted living community in Brockton, recently hosted a cultural event focused on France, according to a community announcement.
The event, called “Grab Your Passport! Destination: France,” included a live cooking demonstration, according to the announcement. Bras Teixeira, director of dining experience, showcased how to make traditional French crêpes. Residents observed the process and learned facts about the dish.
The demonstration ended with tastings of crêpes topped with various fillings.
In addition to the cooking demonstration, residents participated in a pastry tasting and trivia session. They sampled macarons and pain au chocolat while answering questions about French geography and history.
“Grab Your Passport!” days are collaborative efforts between staff and residents. The program aims to provide education, entertainment and cultural experiences. Each month, the community virtually explores a different country or city, learning about its history, art, music and cuisine.
