Barb Stuckey will help you understand why you love the food you eat. Stuckey, a veteran food developer and tastemaker in the food technology field, culled personal interviews and research with fellow foodie scientists to create a book dedicated to developing more “star tasters.” Whether she is exploring the concept of how the loss of smell affects taste or the sensory evaluation of milk chocolate bars, Stuckey’s read offers a hearty analysis of the five senses and how they relate to personal taste, plus exercises that encourage readers to use their “common scents” with every bite.
