Cooking show caters to visually impaired chefs

Lesson No. 1 on Celia Chacon's television cooking show -- use what you have, find substitutes for what you don't.
Except this food TV host isn't just talking ingredients. She's teaching viewers to use touch, smell and sound instead of sight. That's because her viewers are mostly listeners. Like Chacon, most are blind or visually impaired.
But after two seasons on public television, "Cooking Without Looking" -- the nation's first television cooking show catering to those with vision loss -- faces an uncertain future after funding shortfalls put the next season on hold.

Vision Quest is low vision training utilizing techniques commonly used by photographers to capture and present images.
The purpose of this course is to awaken students with low vision as to how much they can see when they learn to optimize their vision. Both visually impaired and sighted individuals can improve observational skills through the study of photography. As visually impaired students learn to analyze common visual cues and apply the principles of composition to their own photographic images, they become avid visual observers.
