Blind Chef Debra Erickson, Executive Chef and founder of the Blind Kitchen hosted an engaging and informative Zoom session on working safely and efficiently in the kitchen with knives, hot pans, ovens, and food preparation. She shared valuable tips, ideas, and products designed to make cooking easier for those with vision loss.

The 15 members in attendance asked challenging questions and shared some of their own food preparation tips. Debra offered practical suggestions and strategies, including how to maintain a clean and sanitized work area, read recipes, shop for ingredients, identify spices, and techniques for measuring and pouring liquids.

Her website features cooking tips, instructional videos, and recipes adapted for cooks who are blind or visually impaired. Additionally, she has a free monthly newsletter available for sign-up. All the adaptive tools discussed during the session are available tax-free through her website store. Click here to visit the Blind Kitchen website.
