Adaptive Kitchen Skills – Key Lime Pie

In our Adaptive Kitchen Skills class, clients learn to cook safely after losing vision later in life.  They often bring a wealth of experience, and just need some pointers on operating safely around heated surfaces and sharp utensils. Louise made the process of baking a key lime pie look easy!  She learned to use an egg separator and then used a pastry brush to lightly coat this pie crust with egg whites. (pictured)
