This week I\u2019m delighted to offer a GIVEAWAY\u2013one free<\/em> copy of Molly Birnbaum\u2019s Season to Taste<\/em><\/a>! Leave a comment on this post to to enter; comments will be closed on Monday at 8 am EST and I\u2019ll select a winner at random.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Don\u2019t let the chick-lit-style cover fool you! This book is full of science, philosophy, sociology, and some great stories. Molly Birnbaum was an aspiring chef out for a run when a car accident erased her sense of smell. You might assume that she was lucky to lose only that\u2013but you\u2019d be wrong. Turns out, our sense of smell is so much more important than any of us might guess: it plays a big part in how we relate to others, especially romantically (wink, wink) and shapes our experience of the world as much as\u2013or even more than\u2013the other, seemingly more \u2018important\u2019 senses, like sight and hearing. This is a fascinating book, one that will give you new appreciation for a sense that you might have forgotten you have; one that will raise your appreciation for the extraordinary wonder of your ordinary senses and, yes, perhaps help you to eat with greater joy.<\/em><\/p>\n
