Getting back on track of the subject line, I still think that braille is the
best method for reading recipes when about to prepare them or for when in
that process. No need to rewind, listen to it again, and totally portable
from room to room if needed, and looking for a particular recipe, if the
book has a table of contents is a snap.

I also use it sometimes to copy recipes out of because it has a pause and
forward and rewind. It is a little tricky but it works.

Hmmmm! Never! Thought of the simple voice! Box! It has been such a long
time
since I went there, bet ya I do not know my pass word or any thing! Great

I use the Simple Voice Box for keeping recipe messages. My home box only
holds 50 messages and they don't erase either. My cell phone only saves
for
23 days I think.
But I only put a recipe I am going to make that week in a message. It is
so
I can listen to it in the kitchen where I can take out all the
ingredients
and put them on the table.
I use the message to make the recipe and then erase it because it is
already
in my computer.

How does that work out? My messaging system only holds messages for
fifteen

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.

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.
