Hello from Florida

One cannot learn or experience all the things that interest us so it is a pleasure to join a group that brings so much to share at the table. I live to eat and cooking has become my new field of interest since my wife who is a good cook became disabled. Growing up living in the back of a small mom and pop grocery store and spending 50 years in food and beverage manufacturing has taught me many things but having to prepare meals for the day is a new learning experience. I look forward to learning from the Forum.

Welcome. You've come to a good place to learn; the members here range from brand-new cooks to seasoned (heh) professionals. You may find useful information also in the short courses offered in the eGullet Culinary Institute: how to cook various cuisines, make soups, sauces, and so on. Depending on the degree and manner to which your wife has become disabled, you may find useful information in courses offered there on Cooking With Disabilities. Part 1 assumes the cook is working with disabilities; Part 2 addresses cooking for someone with disabilities (mostly for an impaired child, but some information may be valuable to you), and Part 3 discusses sensory issues such as dealing with nausea and medications.
