Learning New Kitchen Skills: Tips for the Blind Home Cook

from Reflections · host Joeita Gupta, Ramya Amuthan, Greg Pickios, Michelle McQuigge, Christine Ha

For some, cooking is about survival and nourishment. For others, it’s an adventure, challenge, hobby, and a source of joy. Either way, getting started in the kitchen with new recipes, tools, and appliances can be tricky and overwhelming. Joeita Gupta is admittedly not the most enthusiastic to be in the kitchen, but she wanted to explore some of the best tips and tricks for the blind home cook so everyone can feel included in this daily accomplishment.  Greg Pickios is an Adapted Living Skill Specialist for Balance for Blind Adults, and he shares some of the basic tools and skills that he teaches his clients.  Michelle McQuigge, CEO of Balance for Blind Adults, loves to cook and is largely self-taught. She lets us in on some of her favourite tips from the kitchen that she’s learned over the years.  And Christine Ha, the winner of Master Chef Season 3 and restauranteur, is sharing the ways she keeps her kitchens running smoothly, efficiently, and accessibly.
