Watch Cooking Without Looking!
As you know, we were featured on the most recent episode of Cooking Without Looking, the only cooking show of its kind for the visually impaired. It’s a wonderful show that empowers the visually impaired to stay active
in the kitchen.
However, it only aired on WXEL, a PBS station in
southern Florida, meaning most of you were unable to
tune in! Lucky for you, you can watch the whole episode right now online.
The episode will also air later this month nationally on the Fine Living Network. Happy cooking!
Cooking without Looking Special
Thanks for tuning in to Cooking without Looking! We were thrilled to let you all know about our amazing products on this unique show where you learn that being visually impaired doesn’t mean you can’t still be active in the kitchen. And to top it off, Tom Fox, one of the chef hosts, is a proud longtime ZoomText user. We’re offering a special discount offer to viewers of Cooking without Looking.
Just send an email to Becca at and tell me what Maurie cooked on the show and you’ll get details in an email! Happy cooking!
