Cookbook for the Disabled
"I created a cookbook for people with developmental disabilities who can read. After working with people in their homes, teaching them independent living skills, I discovered there was a gap in cooking resources. I could find picture cookbooks, but not word cookbooks that simplified the cooking process. So, I created a cookbook to fill the gap. The result was that people I worked with, who needed my assistance cooking before, could now cook independently when using my cookbook.
"The cookbook is called "Cooking Made Easy." Every recipe is coded from 1-5 according to level of difficulty. Recipes are written in large print, for easier reading. Recipes are broken down into detailed, easy to understand steps. Dollar sign codes on each recipe signify cost of ingredients. There are 88 recipes, divided into the following categories: Appetizers/Beverages, Soups/Salads, Vegetables, Main Dishes, Breads/Rolls, Desserts, and Breakfast."
