Veteran’s food recipes from the heart

The Cornish Food Daddy, we’re proud to be a non-profit organisation;

Hello, my name is Lloyd and I am a Veteran myself having served as a Special Forces operator around the world. 

I remember the day walking out the gates on my final day of life in the Forces, worried about what is next, where do I go, what do I do. I am sure that is a feeling that all veterans can relate too. 

Sadly some Veterans suffer with PTSD along with depression and have difficulty relating to people in the outside world.

Now there are some brilliant charities out there helping Veterans find a place to live, there are many groups that Veterans can join to feel part of something, find like minded friends and feel worthwhile which you most certainly are.

However, once we find a new place to live, we then need to cook for ourselves and that is where The Cornish Food Daddy comes in.

On this website you can find videos, advice and help on how to cook simple tasty healthy meals and the best bit is ….you don’t need to have had any formal cookery training.

Feel free to submit pictures of your own meals, send us your menus and tips to help others.

Welcome to The Cornish Food Daddy
