Good Morning Folks
I have hemiplegia from birth (a type of CP) and my right side is severely weaker than my left. I also have some spasticity on the right side.
I find it difficult to prepare food - peeling and slicing vegetables etc. My wife does all the cooking - I just buy off the shelf ready made meals and warm them up in the microwave etc, when she isn't around.
Can someone kindly recommend any on line You tube videos/courses advising the easiest meals to prepare for individuals with my type of disability?
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hi @geek84, just wanted to let you know I moved this into our Cerebral Palsy category. Here you'll find people better placed and informed to give you advice and help
I love cooking, I will have to have a think about what meals would be easiest for your circumstances!0 -
Thanks Jimm_Scope.
I hope you hear from you soon.0 -
Hi @geek84
I have quad CP and have challenges with some of the more dextrous aspects of cooking. Active Hands has some interesting solutions.
There are some videos and websites for one-handed cooking too. Also, Anthony Bryan on Facebook has tips and hacks.0 -
Thanks Richard_Scope1
