The best cooking smells
ThoughtsOf all the food you’ve ever cooked—or had cooked for you—what would you consider the best from the perspective of your nasal area? In October 2011, the J-Walk Blog featured this list:
- Garlic cooking in oil
- Basmati rice
- Turkey on Thanksgiving day
Oddly, despite my penchant for chicken roasts, I don’t find the smell of cooking poultry that appetising. I give him props for the first two however, and would add the following:
- Garlic *and onion* cooking in oil
- Freshly baked bread
- Freshly ground coffee
I also have some food I otherwise enjoy the taste of, but can’t stand it being cooked:
- Ikan bilis
- Lingering curry aroma during breakfast the next day
