At the age of 22, Molly was an aspiring chef. She was spending her nights reading cookbooks & her days working at a bistro in preparation for training at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. But then one day while out running, she was hit by a car. The accident fractured her skull, broke her pelvis, tore her knee to shreds
- & destroyed her sense of smell. As the weeks went by, the flesh & bones began to heal, but she still couldn't smell a thing. And not being able to smell meant not being able to taste or cook, & suddenly her restaurant job, her cookery school plans, & her future as a chef were all over. SEASON TO TASTE follows what came next: how Molly picked herself up & set off on a quest to learn to smell again. Writing with emotional honesty, intellectual curiosity, & a foodie's feel for descriptive precision, she explores the science of olfaction, pheromones, & Proust's madeleine; she meets leading experts, including the writer Oliver Sacks, scientist Stuart Firestein, & perfumer Christophe Laudamiel; & she visits a pioneering flavour laboratory, eats at Grant Achatz's legendary Chicago restaurant Alinea, & enrolls at a renowned perfume school in Grasse, all in an effort to understand & overcome her condition. From cinnamon & cedar wood, to bacon & her boyfriend's shirt, Molly Birnbaum gradually rediscovers the scented world & captures in words
- apt & piquant words
- the rich layer of life that tends to be wordless.
