The Department of Services for the Blind (DSB) invites Blind, Low Vision and Deaf-Blind students to a cooking workshop for parents and kids.
The parent and child (the Tasty Team) will be introduced to the science and safety of basic heat principles around cooking with vision loss, and will use a common kitchen appliance to produce a delicious cooked food outcome.
Parents of children with vision loss, who do not have vision loss themselves, could also benefit from this workshop. Parents will be introduced to basic cooking tools and strategies that will allow them to offer supervised opportunities to their children leading to increased independence and contributions to family meal preparation.
Cost
Free for DSB Explorers.
