About the solution
Cheryl wrote a book called “The Bionic Chef: Cooking With or Without Hands”.
This book begins with the story of her own 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 beginner 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.
“I’m basically problem-solving all day long,” Douglass said.
Nothing has required more reinvention than cooking, a lifelong passion for Douglass. She may still fling the occasional pat of butter across the kitchen, but after a lot of practice, she is back to producing nightly meals and the occasional banquet of her beloved French cuisine.
