As much as all the suggestions in this thread are good ones, I would like to ad that blind people are just naturally more tactile, even when we're doing our best to avoid it. Unfortunately, some blind folks I know were just never taught proper hand washing technique. Waving your hands under the hot water tap for 10 seconds while holding a bar of soap doesn't cut it! Seriously, no matter if the person is cooking for himself, or for someone else, when you're blind, washing your hands matters. Do it
$1, and do it frequently. If you need to touch something that isn't food (a braille recipe, your phone to set a timer, random stuff in the cupboard while you're searching for something, whatever), you need to wash your hands right away before touching any food, dishes, measuring spoons, etc. People who can see just touch a lot fewer things in the course of cooking than blind people do.
