Hello. I can’t really taste or smell anything since birth.
Cooking for myself is fine but I only know texture is is good. It might taste unedible for all I know.
I will have to cook for other people at some point in future afterall. Any of you found a trick to use during covid or something?
Please tell me even if it’s not that effective. I have no idea how to fix this. Thank you very much.
I learned cooking by strictly following the recepy. If you do that, for example Pasta Napoli, you will be fine. It’s a simple recepy, but most people like it. And everyone can add salt, parmesan or whatever they like afterwards.
To a certain point, cooking has more to do with seeing what’s happening (when is water boiling, when are onions fried enough etc.) than tasting it. So you should be fine.
Also with Pasta, you just have to feel if it’s soft enough and since you are used to texture you should be even more fine tuned to it ;)
I think this is going to be your best answer. Follow recipes exactly, and favor dishes that allow for additions after the fact (condiments, cheese, salt/pepper, hot sauce, etc)
