Looked like an interesting book considering my strong sense of smell. Lots of information. Much technical including chemical compounds. Did not realize the number of different smell categories and types.

I can't believe I read the whole thing! This is a reference book, not really meant to be read cover to cover. A lot of great information about how cooking works, but not much fun to read, honestly.

This is a MUST-OWN book for everyone and anyone who cooks. I read all of it just by having it on my nightstand. Absolutely great and indispensable.
