"Feeling my way through food, tasting my way through life", says her food blog (The Blind Cook- Sightless Adventures of Gastronomical Proportions). Christine Ha is an inspiration to all the chefs around the globe. Masterchef USA Season 3 winner Christine Ha is the first blind contestant and winner of such a show and says she has to rely on other senses- such as taste, smell and touch to concoct her dishes, which are mostly of Vietnamese origin, as is she.She suffers from an autoimmune disease due to which she started losing her vision in 2004 and was completely sightless in 2007. Even though she cannot see, she has had a different kind of vision- a vision to popularize Vietnamese cooking and to prove the world that differently-able individuals can also reach the apex of prosperity. She even wrote a cookbook which hit the shelves in May 14, 2013- "Recipes from my home kitchen: Asian and American Comfort Food."
