Season to Taste: How I Lost My Sense of Smell and Found My Way Book

When an accident obliterated Molly Birnbaum's sense of smell it also destroyed her dream of becoming a chef and sent her instead upon a brave and uncertain mission to reawaken her nose. Writing with emotional honesty intellectual curiosity and a foodie's feel for descriptive precision she explores the science of olfaction and pheromones ponders Proust's madeleine and her own scent memory and quizzes psychologists perfumiers and ice-cream inventors all in an effort to overcome her condition. From cinnamon and cedarwood to bacon and her boyfriend's shirt we follow Molly as she gradually rediscovers the scented world and captures in apt piquant words the rich layer of life that tends to be wordless.Read More
