Everything
Alzheimer's

This page is about Alzheimer's and Dementia. Yes there is a difference! Alzheimer's is the disease and dementia is the umbrella term used to describe a collection of symptoms related to memory, language and decision-making.

On May 3rd, 2021, I launched

Cooking the Mindful Way "A Tribute to Alzheimer's' cookbook.

My goal was to raise $10,000 for Alzheimer's foundations so we can find a cure to this disease that impacts over 700,000 Canadians and over 44 million more around the world. I achieved that goal and now with so many suffering with this horrible disease I want to continue to raise funds for research and development. Please come on this journey with me!

How to get your cookbook?

Alzheimer’s and dementia has touched my family in many ways and this fundraising opportunity allows me to reflect on the challenges but mostly embrace on giving back by supporting this amazing organization.

For those that know me, know I absolutely love to create magic in the kitchen. My love of food started with my mom teaching me how to cook at just seven years old and watching my dad grow vegetables in the garden that became the basics of the amazing meals we shared.

Having had my dad pass away from Alzheimer's and mom of dementia, there is no better way to honour them, then creating a cookbook. This book is also a legacy for my children, grandchildren, nephews and extended family where they can read the stories behind the recipes. Today I’m re-sharing this legacy with anyone that wants to join this fundraising adventure with me.

The cookbook has 36 recipes in three categories:

Baby Nonna's Recipes - mom's family recipes that I recreated such as Meatballs, Chicken Cacciatore and more
Maria’s Favourite Recipes - favourite personal creations, including five types of biscotti that are absolutely delicious such as Crunchy Peanut Butter Biscotti, Rum Butter Scallopini and more
Maria's Mind Smart Recipes - recipes that positively impact the brain and help reduce Alzheimer's such as Lemon Veggie Infused Rice, Tilapia Bunwich and more

This cookbook not only has ingredients and directions for each step but there are beautiful photos of selected steps and end results.

All you have to do is donate a minimum of $25 to your local Alzheimer's Society and email me your receipt at mariascuor@telus.net. I will then email you a digital PDF copy you can print out in 8.5 x 11 inches. (Sorry the paper book is sold out)

By making a donation, you are helping to transform the lives of individuals and families living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. It goes a long way in providing services and programs as well as supporting the search for a cure.
