In the wake of COVID-19, almost 25% of the population exhibits an impairment of the olfactory system, with varying severity from total loss (anosmia) to partial loss (hyposmia) to deception in odor quality (e.g. parosmia, phantosmia). As smell is the dominant contributor to flavor perception, it’s no surprise that one of the leading causes of depression among those suffering from olfactory impairment is the loss of enjoyment and pleasure in eating. This portion of the population is largely left in the dark as to how to advocate for themselves and to improve their everyday experiences at the dining table.

Rediscovering Flavor: A Practical Guide for Smell Loss is the first practical handbook on olfaction to date that is designed for lay readers and scientists alike. It offers individuals with anosmia a resource for more deeply understanding their condition, as well as a wealth of recipes designed specifically for the reintroduction of multisensory pleasure into the eating experience. Readers will thus gain an understanding of the underlying processes behind how flavor is built, allowing them to develop an approach to enjoyment of food by recruiting all aspects of flavor apart from olfaction.
