ABOUT
THE HOT & TASTY DISABLED COOKBOOK was inspired by a need for simple, healthy and tasty recipes, targeted towards people with disabilities – and their caretakers.
BACKGROUND
Disabled people are often unable to cook for themselves; their food choices are typically:
- Dine-in or pick up at restaurants
- Order food for delivery
- Have caretakers cook for them at home.
Unfortunately, many caretakers often have no cooking skills apart from
microwaving, frying, or cooking frozen items.
This becomes a problem for those disabled clients who know and appreciate higher quality culinary items, but can’t always afford restaurant meals. The Hot & Tasty Disabled Cookbook addresses this issue, helping those with disabilities eat healthy and save money too.
