How To Taste: A Guide to Discovering Flavor and Savoring Life

What an enjoyable book -- very educational and entertaining! I'd never gave much thought to why things taste the way they do to me or why some flavors go so well together, but this book is an incredibly helpful primer even for a novice taster! I particularly love to share the tasting method outlined in the book with friends and family over dinner or drinks. It's also a perfect gift for those aspiring foodies in your life -- I've already gifted a few myself!

Such an awesome read for anyone who wants to explore a world of tasting they didn’t even know existed! The author has done her research and helps you learn the best way to taste and how to articulate it. I will be referring back to this book for years to come.**This is the perfect gift for anyone who loves food and/or drinks (which is everyone!)

This book has a lot of researched information about how to start noticing all that is around you that adds to the taste of your food. The author tells you step by step how to become a better taster. By following her directions you can take the time to notice the colors, smells, and flavors of your food and create lasting memories. She interviews many interesting people that are part of the food and drink industry. The book is easy to read and made me feel like I can be a taster too! The book also looks great on my table.

I am in the wine business and this was such a joy to read and such interesting information I can use as a wine educator.

I have taken sensory classes in multiple countries. I am a Certified Cicerone, Beer Judge and have a WSET certification in wine. This book helped me to put everything together and to better understand and describe flavors. I highly recommend it!
