Fecha de emisión: Jul 10, 2013

Hot oil, sharp blades and burning flames- a kitchen might seem like a dangerous place for people who are visually impaired. However, does being blind exclude you from cooking? With their hearing, sense of smell, sense of taste and their hands, visually impaired people can also cook delicious meals. Kwong-po who lost his vision later in life was at first afraid to enter the kitchen. Now, he is a host for a web channel’s cooking programme, sharing his cooking experience with viewers. The kitchen became a place where he learned how to be independent and where he regained his confidence. Susan, also visually impaired, has cooked for her family ever since she was little. She used to take care of her siblings’ meals, and after she got married, she was in charge of cooking for her family of four. With over 40 years of cooking experience, Susan is a perfectionist who is meticulous about flavour and sense, as well as colour.
