Welcome
Senseless Cooking is for everyone! You can find recipes that will not only spice up your taste buds, but taste excellent even if you can't smell! Many of the recipes I have created. Some are from my favorite recipe web sites and cookbooks. Several have been reinvented to my liking and imagination.
Strange enough I can remember what most food smells like. That helps me to be more creative by adding texture and other tastes. I read lots of recipes and modify them. I can't taste garlic but still use it in my recipes for everyone that can taste and smell.
Tasty Cooking!
I have Anosmia from a horse accident in 2001. After several years I think I can smell certain aromas. This is called phantom smells. What I still have is my sense of taste! Salt, sugar, bitter, and sour are the flavors I experience. Now I have learned to appreciate textures in food. If you ever had a cold, your sense of smell has been diminished.
After years of learning to cook without burning my food, I learned I am actually a pretty darn good cook! All foods and spices have a different taste on my palette. I realized food has different textures. When cooking I imagine what things used to taste like such as mixtures with textures.
My hubby will tell you that I am the best cook! So don't get discouraged! You can cook! It just takes practice. And a good taste tester really is helpful! Enjoy! These recipes are for everyone who loves food!
