- Replies 5
In a turn of events that reminds us all of the fragility of life, even for our most cherished figures, the beloved Australian culinary icon Maggie Beer has been hospitalised following a distressing fall at her Barossa Valley home.
At 79 years old, Maggie Beer has become a household name, not just for her delectable recipes and warm television presence but also for her passionate advocacy for quality aged care.
The incident, which resulted in multiple fractures and related injuries, was shared with the public through a heartfelt post on Maggie's official social media account, penned by her concerned family.
The post, accompanied by a photo of Maggie smiling bravely, reassured fans that while the injuries were serious, the prognosis was positive.
'Thankfully, Col, her husband, was there, and she is now in the excellent hands of her doctors, who are confident she will make a full recovery,' the family stated.
‘More than anything else, Maggie hates letting people down. But she has multiple events and public engagements coming up that she may have to miss.’
Maggie's absence will surely be felt with a calendar typically packed with events and public engagements.
‘She has asked us to apologise on her behalf to all those affected - and has asked for your patience as she recuperates.’ they added.
‘Thank you for your understanding.’
Maggie Beer's influence extends far beyond the kitchen.
She has garnered numerous accolades as an author, restaurateur, and TV personality.
However, her most impactful work has been her tireless campaign to improve food quality in aged care facilities.
Following the harrowing revelations of the Aged Care Royal Commission, which uncovered widespread neglect and malnutrition, Maggie took the extraordinary step of embedding herself within an aged care residence for four months to revamp the meals provided to residents.
In other news about Maggie, she revealed how creating DIY cooking tutorials helped her cope with the grief of losing her daughter, Saskia, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
She found comfort in her kitchen and used her 'Cooking with Maggie' videos to heal and give back during this challenging time. You can read more about it here.
