Dutch cookbook writer Joke Boon suffers from anosmia—the inability to smell. She lost her sense of smell at the age of four. And although her tongue has kept its taste perception (感知), the lack of smell means that she can only distinguish the five basic flavors sweet, salty, bitter, sour, umami—as well as fat. Doctors say she has lost around 94% of her tasting perception.
Despite this, she has written five cookbooks. So how does someone without a sense of smell experience food? For Boon, it’s mainly with her brain—by employing a facial nerve.
“You know the feeling when you eat too much wasabi (芥末酱) at once?” says Boon. “I use this nerve a lot to ‘taste’ my food. I can also feel ginger and pepper this way.”
The look of food is important, too. “Color is very important”, she says. “I don‘t like white food because for me white equals no flavor. The texture (质地) and sound of food have big roles, too. A walnut makes a different sound than a hazelnut.”
“It’s to do with the amount of fat—a hazelnut gives a hard sound, a walnut more of a soft sound. When you listen, you also hear the difference between a carrot and an apple.”
Despite her condition, Boon has always liked to cook. “Food was very important during my childhood,” she says. “Even though I couldn‘t taste anything, I wanted to participate. I started experimenting when I was a student and began to write down my recipes (菜谱).”
Boon’s message for those who’ve lost their sense of smell: focus on stimulation of the trigeminal nerve, and taste with your brain and your intellect. Cook your own food, so you can decide what‘s in it. “Not being able to smell is unpleasant,” she admits. “But you can live a pleasant life if you know how.”
