One thing I have been doing for myself is reading recipes into a message box on my phone. Then when I go into the kitchen I do not bring my computer or a book in there. Then when I make the meal I just erase the phone message.

Unfortunately, brailled cookbooks seem to be less and less popular, even though they are the best format for in the kitchen. I personally wouldn't want my Pac Mate or Plex Talk Plus or Library of Congress digital player in the kitchen where there is a chance of getting them, shall we say, in need of repair? due to food particles. Brailled cookbooks, on the other hand, especially if they are using thermoform paper, can easily be cleaned off, suffering no consequences.

Hi Nancy,

I'm a Braille user and love Braille cookbooks, so any resources you would
like to share would be appreciated here. I don't care for the cookbooks on
tape either for the exact same reason you spoke of.

I don't feel you are being pushy at all. I think any information you would
like to share is going to be appreciated here on the list. Some folks do
like audio cookbooks, some still prefer the Braille.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like I have an easier
time now finding cookbooks in audio formats than in Braille. They take up
less space and are probably more popular in today's tech-oriented world.

Rhonda

Hi everyone,

My brain isn't shopping at the moment and I would like your opinion about my
latest idea. Would anyone be helped if I listed all my Braille cookbooks,
possibly where they came from and perhaps what they cost? Would it be better to post information about the sites such as Horizons for the Blind, National
Braille Association, National Braille Press, etc. I usually like to check
things out myself. One book might be meaningless to me but just what someone
else needs. At the same time, I don't want to leave non-Braille users
feeling left out. I hate cookbooks on cassette because they usually are not
tone indexed. I realize that I need to send the promised recipes before I
start another project. I just want your thoughts. Am I coming across as too
pushy? I don't want to do that at all.
