Googling, this page is closed, but it seems to imply your book really is only one volume. Maybe the recipe you found outside of the book was from a different source altogether? https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/71247568

Some time around the early 1990’s I think it was, a gentleman came to my house and said he was a retired water man and that he remembered seeing me when he came to read the water meter. He said he and his wife were moving and that his sister had passed away and he had some braille cookbooks. Well, I got pretty excited of course. One of them was the 1948 book called The Braille Cookbook. It’s old of course, but I like it. The other 2 volumes are the first 2 volumes of a book called the New Evelyn Lee’s Cookbook. It really has 3 volumes because the contents of Volumes 2 and 3 are in Volume 1. But there was no Volume 3. I think the book came out in 1963. If anyone would happen to have it, I would love to get a copy so I could copy it. I’d just transcribe it into my computer and just give it back. Maybe some library somewhere has it. I asked about it through my library and no one knows anything about it. I was going through a collection of recipes I got ahold of from a shared folder a few years ago, and I got Evelyn Lee’s Fried Chicken. It does sound good, but wherever they got that recipe, there must be her braille book. I would appreciate any help in at least borrowing a copy of that Volume 3.

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.
