Oh yeah, don't forget to mention the winner of that cooking show, Master
Chef or one of those, who was totally blind. She won the entire thing and
didn't use sighted help to do it. I think she's from Texas.

Not saying that someone in the class with you won't be helpful, but there
are a lot of cooks who are blind.  Be sure that no matter what happens, you
perform those skills yourself at some point in the class without any help
whether you have someone in there with you or not. I would prefer you go to
class without a helper of any sort, but since I don't know the situation, I
won't simply tell you not too.  However, if your help is just going to not
let you learn the skills, then that is counterproductive.
