“The best way to stimulate your sense of smell is simply to use it more – be more conscious of smells – find out for yourself which plants around you are aromatic; see if you can tell subtle differences in odor, such as aniseed and fennel (with your eyes closed!).

There is not a great deal of difference between creating a wonderfully tasty dish and blending and exquisite fragrance or essential oil blend, so cultivate your palate and your nose.”
