Stimulate your sense of smell

Try to memorise aromas

By exercising for a few moments every day. Proceed step by step by choosing one, then two, then several ingredients - according to your timetable and their availability - that you submit to your sense of smell.

To work! You must learn in succession to smell:

Floral aromas (lime blossom, violet, orange blossom, hawthorn)
Fruity aromas (citrus: lemon, grapefruit; yellow fruit: peach, apricot.
Then apples, pears. Exotic fruit: lychees, mango; red fruit: raspberry,
strawberry, cherry etc.)
Vegetal aromas (fresh almonds, cut grass, mossy underbrush, truffle)
Dried fruit aromas (hazelnuts, raisins, dried figs)
Epicurean aromas (brioche,vanilla, butter, toast, honey,
gingerbread, candied fruit)

Learn to recognise them with your eyes closed

In a matter of weeks you will notice that your memory of scents has developed to include dozens of aromas.
