BBC World Service - The Food Chain, The blind cooks

Learning to cook after sight-loss and empowering others to do the same

Learning to cook after sight-loss and empowering others to do the same.

Three people who lost their vision as adults tell Emily Thomas how they learnt  to cook again, becoming so accomplished in the kitchen that they became restaurateurs, cookbook writers, food podcast makers and Masterchef winners. They explain  how their relationships with food have changed,  and why cooking with just four senses can make you a better chef.
