Cooking show caters to visually impaired chefs

http://www.pe.com/lifestyles/stories/PE_Fea_Daily_D_food.blindcooking.3068b4c.html

Lesson No. 1 on Celia Chacon's television cooking show -- use what you 
have, find substitutes for what you don't.

Except this food TV host isn't just talking ingredients. She's teaching 
viewers to use touch, smell and sound instead of sight. That's because 
her viewers are mostly listeners. Like Chacon, most are blind or 
visually impaired.

But after two seasons on public television, "Cooking Without Looking" -- 
the nation's first television cooking show catering to those with vision 
loss -- faces an uncertain future after funding shortfalls put the next 
season on hold.

Vision Quest is low vision training utilizing techniques commonly used 
by photographers to capture and present images.


The purpose of this course is to awaken students with low vision as to 
how much they can see when they learn to optimize their vision. Both 
visually impaired and sighted individuals can improve observational 
skills through the study of photography. As visually impaired students 
learn to analyze common visual cues and apply the principles of 
composition to their own photographic images, they become avid visual 
observers.
