Cheryl Douglass, a retired special education teacher, lost both hands and feet to amputation following a life-threatening blood infection in 2008. This book begins with the story of Cheryl's personal struggle with limb loss and how through cooking she wins back an independent life-style. Her book features valuable time-saving cooking techniques and delicious recipes that anyone - including beginning cooks and amputees - can follow to prepare good meals for friends and family. Cheryl shows how cooking can be made so simple that it can even be done with electric prosthetic hands.
