Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind
When I was about fifteen, I was cooking some french fries one day which I had done before on numerous occasions. I suddenly realized that the french fries cooking didn't sound right. I held my hand over the skillet on our gas stove and realized that the heat was coming up much higher than it should be. I realized that the grease was on fire but I either didn't know or had forgotten about just sliding a lid over the skillet to smother it. I panicked and picked up the skillet and started fast-walking. I'm not sure exactly where I thought I was going so then I set the skillet down in our hall. I ran into my bedroom and grabbed a big, wool army blanket off my bed. I ran back, folded the blanket double and dropped it over the skillet. That was large overkill but it did put the fire out. Of course, it ruined the blanket and left a large skillet-shaped burn scar on our hardwood floor. I met my mom in the driveway when she got home from work and told her what had happened. I don't know what she really thought but all she said was "well, accidents happen". On 7/11/2020 9:17 PM, Lora Leggett via Cookinginthedark wrote: Good thing no one was hurt except a lot of pride.

I loved it and at least George didn’t have a problem with me making stuff and we did meals together.

She came from somewheredown South like maybe Arkansas or somewhere. She was older, but very kind and likeable. I think it was a 3-volume or so soft covered book. I wish there was a way to at least find copies of this stuff to borrow. I also had and it could be around here but I can’t find it. It was called A Campbell Cookbook. I have the 3 book collection from Blind Mice Megamall now, but they are not the one that was. There was a recipe in it called Souper Meat Loaf. It could have been either meat loaf or Meatloaf.

Ohm, now that I remember it was the grease that caught on fire. I remember my dad was pretty shocked and just went in to crisis mode, and I was scared. Can't reven remember if we ate those hamburgers or not. And the teacher as I remember was pretty embarrassed and left pretty fast.

Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind
Oh, going way back in to the sixties, there was a braille recipe book called everyday foods? I remember reading it in high school; omy I feeling old now!Have to stop remembering! On 7/11/2020 7:33 AM, Lora Leggett via Cookinginthedark wrote: I’ll tell you about one I would like to find. 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 On Behalf Of gail johnson via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, July 10, 2020 7:35 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: gail johnson Subject: Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind What a hoot.

Wow, did it bring back some memories. In 1970, I was a senior at Texas School For The Blind. At the beginning of the year, two other senior guys and I needed a half credit to for some reason fill our graduation requirements. It turned out that we could either take shop or home ec which meant cooking for half the year until Christmas break. We had all taken various kinds of shop for years so we decided together that it might be fun to take cooking, and so we did. Mrs. Tipps had been the home ec teacher for many years and in fact, she had written Cooking Without Looking which was inspired by her husband who was totally blind and had passed away sometime back. As fate would have it, it ended up being just us three guys and Mrs. Tipps in cooking class. It was interesting because I don't think she had ever taught any males much less three fun-loving guys like us and no girls in class. It was hard for us to take cooking class really seriously, so we probably took it half-seriously. Anyway, I remember we laughed a lot and worked in some learning too. To her credit, Mrs. Tipps was very tolerant of us. For the culmination of the cooking class, each class got to decide what they'd like for a meal and then prepare it. When she asked us what we wanted to do for our meal, I wonder how she looked and what she thought when we told her we wanted to do chili and milk shakes. The day before our meal, she went shopping and bought everything we'd need. The next day when we came to class, somebody came and told us that Mrs. Tipps was out sick but her message to us was to go ahead and prepare our meal. So I remember three unsupervised senior guys prepared and ate our chili and milk shakes. I think we may have laughed the whole period. I remember the next class when she came back, the only thing she said was, "You know guys, you really didn't have to use all the ice cream for your milk sh

Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind
Oh, wow, I have a coffee can with a tight fitting lid. I pour the 4 or 5 pound can into the can. If it doesn’t run out, I put one of those bread ties really tight on the sugar bag just until it goes down enough for the rest to fit. I’d never want the possibility of a roach, an ant, a fly or any other kind of a bug when I can’t see or hear them there. Yucky! Well, if that volume 3 ever crawls out of the shed, let me know, I could probably do it all within a week or so, unless I get really busy fast. I must have had Volumes 1 and 2 about 20 years and they are still on one of the shelves in my basement.

But there is a tip in there I think is just nuts! Well, many may be, but this one, if you have ants, put your sugar bowl on a paper plate and sprinkle ant powder onto the plate so the ants won't get into the sugar. Well, ants literally send me screaming, so I can't deal. But, really??? Put ant poison onto a paper plate that you will touch as you get into the sugar bowl? Um, I don't think so!

Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind
there certainly was an Evelyn Lee braille cookbook, and it had three volumes. Unfortunately, it is out in our shed, as we now live in a home that is too small for a bookshelf. Can you imagine? Sooo frustrating! Anyway, some of the recipes are good. But there is a tip in there I think is just nuts! Well, many may be, but this one, if you have ants, put your sugar bowl on a paper plate and sprinkle ant powder onto the plate so the ants won't get into the sugar. Well, ants literally send me screaming, so I can't deal. But, really??? Put ant poison onto a paper plate that you will touch as you get into the sugar bowl? Um, I don't think so!

Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind
I tried to look on that link, but couldn’t navigate it much. The one I had was called Evelyn Lee’s New Cookbook, so she must have had a couple. The introduction was written by I think a gentleman who was so totally amazed that she was blind, he could not get over himself, haha. I think it’s like people who ask you who dresses you or where your care giver is. If it is the same book, I have Volume 1, and if it is a different one, it must be incomplete if it is only Volume 1. But thanks. Somewhere in my house, I have the Braille Cookbook of 1948. Of course there were no more can labels in the back, just a spot where they used to be. That Big Boy sounds good. Yes, I have diabetes, but once in a while, you just want something that tastes good.

Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind
I forgot about the Braille Cookbook. They used to have a copy of it at the Texas School for the Blind. It was made back in the 40s when the goal of the agency was to help the blind person become a homemaker so that others in the house would not have to stay home and take care of them. Teachers would spend long times in their homes, I think they may have even stayed there back then. These days, it's pretty much "stop feeling sorry for yourself and get a job. But if you can't manage your diabetes without being able to cook it's your fault." I know this because I was a teacher, and that's not how I taught, smirk. I copied things out of that book myself but I used an old Braille 'n Speak and don't know where the files went. I remember a recipe called Big Boy. You got out some foil, made a patty, cut up some onion, potato, carrot, and whatever vegetables, and put them around the burger on the foil. You made a packet out of the foil, being careful that it couldn't leak out, and baked it for I don't remember how long. I made it and it was good, though a bit greasy. Not exactly foodie fare, but that was over 50 years ago. And there were different nutritional standards and they didn't have all these small electrical devices then that we have now. I don't know where to get a copy. I wonder if NLS would be interested in dredging up and reissuing some of these old Braille cookbooks if there was enough demand.

Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind
I remember there was another book called Food At Your Fingertips. I never got that one I think one summer when I went to this 5-week program up at the Michigan School For The Blind, there was a lady named Mrs. Schultz or something like that. She came from somewheredown South like maybe Arkansas or somewhere. She was older, but very kind and likeable. I think it was a 3-volume or so soft covered book. I wish there was a way to at least find copies of this stuff to borrow. I also had and it could be around here but I can’t find it. It was called A Campbell Cookbook. I have the 3 book collection from Blind Mice Megamall now, but they are not the one that was. There was a recipe in it called Souper Meat Loaf. It could have been either meat loaf or Meatloaf. Those books were so cool, and so rare back then.

Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind
The recipes ARE the same in the audio version of Cooking Without Looking as in the braille one. In fact, the original narration of this book was actually read by a blind man for NLS. I found out about that a long time ago, don't know where I heard it but it is true. I kid you not.

Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind
I had the old braille book of Cooking Without Looking. Unfortunately, it was on my shelf in the basement and it got water damaged. I cried when I had to throw it out. But I downloaded both copies from BARD. The original version is read byh a gentleman, and the newer copy from about 1980 is read by a female. It’s about the same except it says visually handicapped instead of blind. But I think the recipes are the same in both versions.

Wow, did it bring back some memories. In 1970, I was a senior at Texas School For The Blind.

We had all taken various kinds of shop for years so we decided together that it might be fun to take cooking, and so we did.

Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind
Greetings All, While perusing numerous saved months of this forum I came across this post. Wow, did it bring back some memories. In 1970, I was a senior at Texas School For The Blind. At the beginning of the year, two other senior guys and I needed a half credit to for some reason fill our graduation requirements. It turned out that we could either take shop or home ec which meant cooking for half the year until Christmas break. We had all taken various kinds of shop for years so we decided together that it might be fun to take cooking, and so we did. Mrs. Tipps had been the home ec teacher for many years and in fact, she had written Cooking Without Looking which was inspired by her husband who was totally blind and had passed away sometime back. As fate would have it, it ended up being just us three guys and Mrs. Tipps in cooking class. It was interesting because I don't think she had ever taught any males much less three fun-loving guys like us and no girls in class. It was hard for us to take cooking class really seriously, so we probably took it half-seriously. Anyway, I remember we laughed a lot and worked in some learning too. To her credit, Mrs. Tipps was very tolerant of us. For the culmination of the cooking class, each class got to decide what they'd like for a meal and then prepare it. When she asked us what we wanted to do for our meal, I wonder how she looked and what she thought when we told her we wanted to do chili and milk shakes. The day before our meal, she went shopping and bought everything we'd need. The next day when we came to class, somebody came and told us that Mrs. Tipps was out sick but her message to us was to go ahead and prepare our meal. So I remember three unsupervised senior guys prepared and ate our chili and milk shakes. I think we may have laughed the whole period. I remember the next class when she came back, the only thing she said was, "You know guys, you really didn't have to use all the ice cream for your milk shakes". All in all, she was a nice lady and her book is still useful and has pretty much stood the test of time.

Please check it out. It's on Bard. Another one available on Bard is Adaptive Culinary Techniques for the Visually Impaired It is well written by its blind author. I frequently monitor Bard and so all this Comes down to knowing what is out there. Now, you have more easy recipes when you Get these books from Bard or your local braille and talking book library. Of course, we should continue to help each other on the list. Don't stop sending tips!! Even I can benefit, And I'm an old hand. There are things I never would Have thought of, always something new to learn from others.
