> The Blind Grilling Experience
> 
>  
> The Blind Grilling Experience Podcast is about sharing the history, food, and experiences from a blind and visually impaired perspective. This podcast is not just for the blind and VIP community, but for everyone who loves food, cooking, and grilling. We emphasize accessible technology and techniques while understanding accessibility is sometimes better with simplicity. Hosted by Chris Peltz.
> Topics include food handling, preparation and safety, knife skills, grilling and cooking techniques as well as the use of grills, smokers, and other accessible appliances. Not only do we hope this will be beneficial to blind and visually impaired individuals, but that everyone can take something away to help them with their food preparation. Accessibility and independence is what we are striving for.
> I began losing my sight when I was 10 years old due to a hereditary eye condition known as Retinitis pigmentosa. During this process of adjustments and frustrations, I refused to give up my passion of grilling and cooking. In 2014, I started filming cooking videos with my children – Jake, Sarah, and Grace. What started as a way to spend time with my children cooking and making videos for Facebook and YouTube turned into so much more. I began receiving messages and phone calls with encouragement and appreciation for what I was doing.
