Accessible Recipes: Step-by-Step Cooking Methods That Work Without Vision

In practice, cooking does not require vision. It requires sequence, feedback, and timing. When recipes are written and followed as a series of clear actions, they work reliably without visual reference.

This guide explains how accessible recipes function in real kitchens. It shows how blind and visually impaired home cooks follow step by step methods using sound, touch, time, smell, and structure. It also explains how to adapt any standard recipe into a format that works non visually.

This article is part of a larger cooking cluster. For the complete system that connects recipes with kitchen setup, tools, labeling, and safety, see The Ultimate Guide to Accessible Cooking for Blind and Visually Impaired Home Cooks | 2026.

What to do if you haven't been auto-assessed

Story by The South African Institute of Taxation (SAIT)

As Sars opens Filing Season 2026, millions of taxpayers will receive correspondence confirming that their income tax return will not be automatically assessed this year. If you are among them, you are not alone and you are certainly not in trouble. But you do need to act, and acting with professional guidance is the smartest move you can make.

Procrastination and Anxiety: How Self-Compassion Helps Break the Cycle

Procrastination and anxiety often fuel one another, which can make it very difficult to complete tasks, as the combination of both can exacerbate delay. However, learning to practise self-compassion can help us to break the cycle.

When we procrastinate, we have trouble regulating negative emotions associated with doing a task, for a variety of reasons. Perhaps we find the task tedious, or we don’t know how to complete it. We can also feel like we aren’t able to do the task “perfectly”, and therefore hold back on working on it, which can fuel even more anxiety about getting it done.

Anxiety may cause procrastination, and the other way around. Either way, it’s crucial to understand the link between them so we can learn to manage both. In this post, we’ll discuss why anxiety fuels procrastination, the role of the inner critic, and how to use self-compassion, mindfulness and emotional acceptance to procrastinate less.

How AI Is Helping People with Vision Loss Navigate the World

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way people complete everyday tasks, communicate, and access information. For individuals who are blind or visually impaired, AI is becoming an increasingly valuable tool for building independence and confidence in daily life.

From reading printed text aloud to identifying objects and describing surroundings, today's AI-powered technology is making activities that once required assistance more accessible than ever.

While AI is not a replacement for orientation and mobility training, assistive technology instruction, or other rehabilitation services, it can be a powerful addition to the tools people already use.

Here's a closer look at how AI is helping individuals with vision loss navigate the world.

A woman's Contribution in Society

Women play a vital role in society across various spheres, including family, community, economics, and leadership, contributing significantly to the development and well-being of communities through roles as caregivers, educators, entrepreneurs, activists, and decision-makers, while also actively participating in fields like science, politics, and the arts; however, they often face challenges related to gender inequality and discrimination in accessing opportunities fully.

Creating a Better Work-Life Balance

Work-life balance is the ability to effectively manage the time spent on professional responsibilities and personal wellbeing, interests or pursuits outside of work. Maintaining a healthy work-life balance requires an active decision and ongoing prioritisation. It is possible to learn how to improve work-life balance, and it should get easier the more we practice it. There is a lot of advice and thoughts on the importance of a healthy work-life balance. However, the choice is up to each individual, and what work-life balance practically looks like will vary from person-to-person.

SA smart glasses for visually impaired innovation ranked among world's top startups, founder appeals for public support.

Residing in Mdantsane in the Eastern Cape, a young man watched his visually impaired grandmother navigate daily life with courage and resilience.

He saw the challenges she faced. He saw how something as simple as moving around independently could become difficult. And at just 11 years old, he made a promise to her: one day, he would create a solution that could help visually impaired people live more independently.

Years later, that promise is becoming a reality. Today, Elihle Stali is the founder of Spectacles4TheBlindSA...
