Lecture: The Blind Chef, Mohammed Alsaadi
Mohammed Alsaadi, known from the DR travel show "På Eventyr i Blinde", gives a lecture about living with visual impairment and his work as a chef.
Mohammed Alsaadi is a Danish blind chef, entrepreneur and speaker. In 2016 he co-founded Madsynet.dk, a food blog and company offering cooking workshops and 'dining in the dark' events. He reached a wider audience in 2026 as one of five blind participants in the DR television series 'Eventyr i Blinde', which follows them on a sensory journey through southern Europe. His talks draw on his own experience of living and working without sight.
DR's series 'Eventyr i Blinde', where Mohammed Alsaadi is one of five blind participants on a sensory journey through Southern Europe, premiered on DR1 on August 31, 2026.
In the series, the five participants travel through France, Italy and Austria and experience the places through sounds, scents and tastes instead of sight.
Mohammed Alsaadi hopes that the DR program can break down prejudices about what people with visual impairments can do.
Mohammed Alsaadi founded Madsynet.dk in 2016 - a food blog and business with cooking courses and events for blind and sighted people.
