Eat like a Champion  -  Lora Fachie MBE

---

Join visually impaired Paralympic champion Lora Fachie MBE as she shares some of her tips and advice on how to prepare simple but tasty and nutritious meals. Delivered via Zoom, there will be a block of six sessions, the first being an introduction to Lora, her life story and sporting success. There will be opportunities to chat and ask questions.

​The following five sessions will be cooking demonstrations where people have the choice to join in if they wish. Each recipe will be simple and easy to prepare, using only one pan. She will explain the nutrition behind the dish and why it is good for you while you cook. She will also share plenty of advice on how to cook confidently and safely when visually impaired. 

All recipes can be adapted to suit dietary requirements so please get in touch if you have any questions.​

More about Lora
​Lora has been blind from birth. She has a hereditary sight loss condition which affects her mum and brothers as well. Growing up her mum taught her to cook and she recognises that not everyone living with sight loss has been as fortunate. She has set up her blog, Blindingly Good Food to share her tips to hopefully encourage more visually impaired people to feel comfortable and confident around the kitchen.
 
Sport has always been a big passion of Lora’s and she has been on the British para-cycling team for 11 years. She races on the back of a tandem. Within that time she has been a world champion three times and is current Paralympic champion.

To remain at an elite level of sport good nutrition is obviously a high priority and so being able to prepare lots of quick and healthy meals is very important. The five recipes you will learn to cook will use a variety of nutritious ingredients.
