There was also Cooking with Feeling by Deborah DeBord. This is at National Braille Press, if they still have it. The publication date is 1997, so it is a bit more up to date, though far from recent. There are five soft-cover Braille volumes. The book is actually a combination of two different books, a three-part series called Cooking with Feeling Recipes and a two-part one called Cooking with Feeling Techniques. Techniques are well-described. I believe she also had a bread machine book. I don't know if there are accessible bread machines now. I don't have one because I think that a machine would take all the fun out of making bread. What would be the point, if I couldn't knead out all my frustrations?
There is another Braille Book on BARD, A leaf from our table / BRA10152 Porter, Marie; Catholic Guild. 2 volumes. A production of Catholic Guild. This book was put together by a group of blind women. I believe that these women all cooked and shared these recipes at meetings. They had several other books back in the 1970s. The book on making Bread, which was just called, Bread, is the one I used as a primer for my own learning how to make bread. They also had a salad and dessert book. Maybe there were others as well, but the only one I had was the one on bread. So many of the cookbooks I have seen by blind people's groups were rather obviously copied from somewhere else. I've seen some highly visual descriptions even in Cooking in the Dark cookbooks, though recipes I know are Dale's are very blind-friendly. So just because it was put out by an ACB or NFB affiliate doesn't mean that all the recipes have been test-driven by a real blind person. Somebody asks around for recipes and people just copy them out. They may or may not have cooked them, but they haven't necessarily adapted the instructions. I haven't seen any audio books on BARD written specifically for blind cooks. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <[email protected]> On Behalf Of gail johnson via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, July 10, 2020 7:35 PM To: [email protected] Cc: gail johnson <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind What a hoot.
