How do you cook when you’re totally blind, and your wife dies at the start of a Pandemic? This was the situation faced by former Royal Marine Simon Mahoney in March 2020. His solution was to write a basic Kitchen survival guide called “First Catch your Rabbit” In this talk, Simon will tell his story, how he organised his kitchen, and talk through the process of preparing a meal using the system he devised.
