[nabs-l] recipies in alternative formats

[sarah.jevnikar at utoronto.ca]

Hi all,
I haven't tried all of their recipes, but the National Braille Press  
has some decent cookbooks, some of which are written by blind cooks.
Here's the webpage where you can find a list of adult books under the  
subcategory of home and health. All the cookbooks they have are within  
this list of 30 titles.
