We’ve all got great childhood memories about learning to cook with someone. Whether a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle or favorite family friend the majority of people cooking today are doing so because someone in their lives inspired them.
Growing up as a blind child meant I spent years alternating between public school and a school for the blind. This gave me a variety of experiences.
I was also fortunate to have a mother who believed I could learn to do anything if I applied myself. So, she made a point of teaching me some great things in the kitchen.
But one of my favorite memories from my youth comes from the summers I spent with a blind college student who lived just a couple miles from my house.

July 3, 2021Hi Robbie, thanks for reading and commenting. I’m glad you enjoyed this.
I never really think about stuff like this being inspiring but I suppose to someone who cannot imagine cooking and other things as a blind person it is.
Thanks again and have a great day.
