As a refresher, I showed that you experience food with all five of your senses.(Taste, Touch, Sight, Smell and Sound), and that all of that information is filtered through your memories and associations to help decide how you feel about the food that you are eating.

As I sit in my booth at Wizard World ComicCon, I was trying to come up with inspiration to finish writing this blog post. I had a solid 280 word blog post written, that was good, but not great. I know what World Cancer Day means to me, but what did it mean to you, the reader? Then at the end of the day, a 17 year old girl came over dressed as a video game character and began to talk with me. We laughed, we joked, and I gave her the spheil on my new cookbook.

He noticed how difficult it was for her to enjoy food because of the side effects of treatment with many things smelling and tasting weird for her.

“I reached out to national organizations for tips and tricks to help,” he explained. “Even though they had informational pamphlets, no one really had any answers.”
