Abstract
Students from Cambridge Regional College's catering department will be devising a two-course menu aimed at guests who will not be able to see what they are eating.

It is being done to mark the launch of Eye Inspire, a project to encourage young people with sight-loss across the UK to follow their goals and aspirations.

 

Graham Taylor, lecturer at Cambridge Regional College, will be heading up the kitchen team on the evening. He said; "It gives me great pleasure to be asked to be involved in such an event. At Cambridge Regional College we have students that come from all over and different walks of life. While doing a presentation to the students, it was humbling to see how many of them wanted to get involved.

 

Training the next generation of chefs is a privilege, to be able to give them the skills they need to go on into our industry. Being involved promotes everything we are about in encouraging and educating the students to use their senses regarding taste flavour texture. For our students to be involved is fantastic"

 

 

The Missing Sock venue in Cambridge is hosting the pop-up dining experience evening on the 8 November 2018 and guests will take part in a quiz at the end of the evening, with prizes given to those guessing closest to the true menu.

 

Eye Inspire was founded by Yvette Chivers, a DJ and music professional from Cambridge, who was diagnosed with degenerative eye disorder Retinitis Pigmentosa 20 years ago.

 

The proceeds from the event will go towards the Eye Inspire project.
