My understanding is that smell is a major factor in how food taste. So does smelling your food and becoming nose blind to the smell while cooking negatively impact how it tastes?

My mate reckons that while cooking you’re being so exposed to the food that the usual dopamine release from eating is somewhat blunted by the whole process.
I totally agree with this. I prefer to cook for others because the process of serving it out gives a cooldown from standing over the oven and inhaling the food, and so i usually enjoy it more.
Me, too, but I never thought of it like that!
Yeah if I’m cooking for myself it’s over too quickly and i have less appetite
