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?

Yeah, the longer it takes to cook the more I dislike it even if everyone else is raving. It’s one of the several reasons I like to can things. Canning takes awhile, but then later on I can pop open a jar and my brain has forgotten the exhaustion and only goes “oooo homemade food in seconds!!!”
Yup. Cleaning and prepping a bunch of leek and two dozens carrots, then making apple pie from scratch, for a nice dinner every night? No way. Spending two weekends canning each season, then eating lovely food all year round? Bliss.
Basic cheese melt when I don’t feel like cooking? Depressing. Cheese melt with fermented squash, pickled red onions, and my neighbor’s cured wild boar ham? Luxury.
