Close your eyes and imagine the aromas: bread baking in the oven, fresh herbs crushed in your fingers, a ripe summer melon.
Smell is a remarkable ability. Not only do aromas evoke memories of times and places, smell also contributes to about 80 percent of food’s flavor. The rest comes from a food’s taste and texture.
Savor the aromas of summer at the table.
- Decorate with bouquets of fresh herbs: lemon mint, scented geranium, lavender, lemon verbena, or bergamot. You can also use them for cooking.
- Make an aromatic sun tea with citrus peel, cinnamon, mint, or other herbs.
- Warm bakery-fresh bread to go with summer soup or salad, to bring out its aroma.
