Musician and braille music teacher Dorothy Hamilton was recognised in the Australia Day Honours list for her services to music. In honour of her achievement we replay a documentary about Dorothy called Meet Dorothy Hamilton. This documentary was produced and presented by Glen Morrow from his Stories of You podcast series. It originally aired on Talking Vision in September 2015.

January 4 is World Braille Day and the birth date of the inventor of the braille system Louis Braille. As the pre-eminent system of touch reading for people who are blind or have low vision, braille is an essential tool for literacy. Enabling direct access to the written word, braille plays a vital role in many aspects of life, whether it be to label canned food, reading books or to convey complex mathematical equations. In this week's Talking Vision, two guests discuss how braille was instrumental in attaining their higher education goals. Caitlin McMorrow is a young history and law graduate and uses both traditional and electronic refreshable forms of braille. Dorothy Hamilton is a musician and braille music teacher and was the first blind woman in the Southern Hemisphere to obtain a degree in music. Both say that without braille their achievements would be far fewer.

This week on Chef's Story, Dorothy Hamilton sits down with Chef Ignacio Mattos. The episode was recorded in front of a live studio audience at the International Culinary Center. Born in Uruguay and mentored by South American grilling master Francis Mallman as well as Slow Food legend Alice Waters at Chez Panisse, Ignacio has earned critical acclaim for his signature style of bold seasonal food. Bon Appetit named him a 2012 tastemaker. The same year, his work at Isa in Williamsburg yielded a James Beard Award nomination for Best New Restaurant of the Year. He was also the chef at New York’s beloved Il Buco.

Dorothy Hamilton was the first blind woman in the southern hemosphere to obtain a Music degree, she worked as a music teacher at an all-girls school in Melbourne, raised four children and set up a Braille Music Camp (which in 2015 celebrated its 30th year).   The first episode of Stories Of You captures the story of Dorothy Hamilton. Her life, her personal journey.    The documentary also features Garry Stinchcombe, who worked with Dorothy for 20 years as a teacher. Garry is totally blind himself and recounts what it has been like to know and work with her.    Jordie Howell is also on this show, Jordie was a former student of Dorothy's and also worked with her as a teacher as well.    You can find out more about the podcast at the  Stories Of You Podcast website.   All the piano playing was performed by Dorothy.

Today on Chef’s Story, Matthew Lightner comes in to talk about his journey to becoming an executive chef at Atera, New York City. Together with host Dorothy Hamilton, Matthew takes us through his journey growing up in the Midwest, moving to Portland, Oregon at the age of 18, looking for work in various restaurants in Spain and San Diego, and eventually opening his restaurant, Atera, in New York City. Beginning as a dishwasher in Oregon, he talks about learning his craft at Noma in Spain, and gaining experience from working in restaurants around the world. At Atera, Matthew’s culinary excellence is displayed in his influences from L’Auberge Del Mar (Del Mar, California), Mugaritz (Errenteria, Spain), and Noma (Copenhagen). In 2010, Matt was named one of Food & Wine’s “Best New Chefs in America”, received nominations for Rising Star Chef by the James Beard Foundation in both 2010 and 2011, and was included in Restaurant Hospitality’s list of “10 Chefs to Watch” in 2010. Tune-in to learn more about his style of cooking, and the influences behind his specialty dishes at his restaurant. Today’s episode has been sponsored by Bonnie Plants. “The techniques were so special to them, they created their own – this level of patience is not found in other restaurants.” [29:30] “The meal needs to tell a story.” [38:15] — Matthew Lightner on Chef’s Story
