This cooking magazine aims to promote an independent and productive lifestyle, specifically for those with mental disadvantages. Look, Cook and Eat is an interactive digital magazine that helps people with developmental disorders learn to cook for themselves. Currently seeking finances via crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, the site was created by coffee shop owner Sue Hoss. Hoss also has experience working those who have learning disabilities.
The cooking magazine uses videos, pictures and audio to make following a recipe easier to follow for the intellectually challenged. By cutting out complicated steps and suggesting equipment and foods more suited to people with conditions like autism or Down's syndrome, the platform makes instructions easier to understand. The format also emphasizes repetition so users can develop basic culinary skills.
