Eating and preparing foods can be a great sensory experience if you actually
think about it. Eating and preparing food uses your five senses, you smell the
aroma, you see the mouth watering presentation of the food, you savor its
tasty flavors, you feel the texture of the food when you touch it, and while
cooking it you can actually hear its bubbling sauce and its crackling meat in
the frying pan. Taste is influenced by smell, vision and the sound of the food
as we eat it. Moreover, our touch receptors in the mouth and our tongue tell
us how crispy, crunchy, or pleasing the texture is. All of these signals put
together inside of the brain make a decision about if we find the food pleasing
or not.
