Have you ever tried eating with your eyes shut?   The main problem is trying to cut up food that you can’t see: how big is the piece?  Is it completely detached?   Is it dripping with sauce?

Instead of all the messy confusion, as a blind cook, I tend to do all the chopping up while I’m cooking: meat; vegetables; anything else.   That way, I can just use a fork to find each mouthful with more chances of success.

But, again, cutting, chopping, peeling, etc aren’t as straightforward when you can’t see.   Next week, we are doing a Masterclass of roast vegetables with all the right equipment to share tips and practical solutions: Monday 10 January at 1030 (London time).

You don’t need to be blind to take part so please sign up – no cost and there will be lots of time for sharing ideas.
