ABOUT OUR SUPER Culinary Director, Nora Barrios
Life journeys don’t always go how or where you expect them to lead. For Nora Barrios that journey always involved food, but it took some interesting twists and turns.
Starting in her early years, Nora has fond memories of cooking for family and friends. In fact, a daughter who moved out of her house recently returned home and told Nora, “I’m so glad I get to come home to the comfortable feeling I get from eating your cooking.” She loves cooking a variety of ethnic foods, including Korean, Italian, and Mexican.
At one point, she found herself cooking in Chinese and Mexican restaurants, but the commercial food industry wasn’t very satisfying.
About 10 years ago, Nora found herself with the opportunity to prepare meals for a very special group of people — senior citizens at an assisted living community. For the past five years, she has had the privilege of feeding the residents at Sunridge Assisted Living and Memory Care of Layton. She says there are three things that give her the greatest joy preparing meals at Sunridge.
- She just loves to cook food
- She loves the challenge of adapting her menus for the residents
- She focuses on the people sitting at the tables
We’re lucky to have Nora be part of our Sunridge family.
