Chef Debra Erickson
I’m Debra Erickson, executive chef and founder of The Blind Kitchen. Food is my love language—it’s the way I most enjoy expressing my fondness and affection for family and friends. When vision loss threatened my ability to safely prepare meals for my loved ones, I was deeply saddened. I didn’t know how I could continue using sharp knives, hot ovens, or stovetops independently, nor could I continue using food preparation strategies that depend on sight. How could I independently read recipes, shop for groceries, and keep a clean, organized kitchen if I couldn’t see?
