Id start with a chopping board with spikes to hold the food still, and a one handed jar/bottle opener. Then a couple of cheap nonslip mats to hold plates and mugs steady. Check some mobility stores online, and check their options. Sadly a lot are rather dull, but things are slowly improving! I also have a tipsi tray which is designed for one handed carrying, so you don't have to spill your tea every time! I have both hands, but they dont always work!

Hi @damlady2 , my guess is that you could be very successful with a slow cooker/instantpot, and vegetable chopper that catches the food (OXO and Ninja have some for $20!). Do you have room to leave these items on your kitchen counter so you don't have to pick them up each time? My instantpot (which has 5 different functions) is quite heavy/awkward.
