Hi everyone, According to BARD there are two audio versions of the Cooking without Looking book: one with a db starting with 11 and the other with the db starting with 52; as well as a braille version. (I just looked.) When I was a teenager in the 1970s, an aunt of mine read for a Talking Book organization in the St. Louis area. She recorded a copy of the Cooking without Looking book (on cassette) and gave it to me at Christmas that year. I still have the cassettes, but would like to get them on to a sd card for my stream. Happy cooking. :) Jeanne
