What if you could get more sensory input, and hence more enjoyment, from the foods you're already eating? You can with a little bit of understanding and practice. Taste What You're Missing explains the science behind what's happening in your mouth, nose, and mind when you eat. Stuckey tells fascinating stories about people who've experienced changes or loss of one of their senses, to illuminate aspects of taste many readers never would have noticed or appreciated. People who have damaged their tongues and lost a certain amount of sensitivity; people with anosmia--no sense of smell--like Ben of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, who compensates for not smelling by having a super-feel and texture to his product. By understanding the anatomy and physiology of taste, you'll be able to better appreciate food, whether it's you doing the cooking or whether you're just doing the eating.
