Hello Denise, I'd think the answer is rather obvious. I don't think every person must be an advanced cook. Not everyone wants to make the most complicated recipes, but people should be encouraged to be as independent as possible. There's only so much you can rely on canned food, junk food, tv dinners etc, not to mention these things are not healthy and more expensive. So it is important to know at least the basic stuff about cooking and kitchen skills. Once the students are confident enough with the basics they can decide how far they want to go with learning more complex recipes. Safety issues are also very important.

I would like to ask you guys about why you feel it is an important skill for a blind/visually impaired student (or adult) to know how to cook and other kitchen skills.
