My deepest appreciation goes to my superb brilliant and caring agent Lauren - photo 1

My deepest appreciation goes to my superb, brilliant, and caring agent, Lauren MacLeod, for continuous guidance and support. I am also indebted to the hard work of the many people at Norton who helped make this book happen, especially my editor, Jill Bialosky, and I was very lucky to get Allegra Huston as my copy editor.

I owe much of the knowledge shared in this book to the many food and sensory experts whose work I researched over the last several years and who generously offered materials and insights, most especially Charles Spence. Many thanks also go to the following colleagues and scholars: Linda Bartoshuk, Gary Beauchamp, Emily Contois, Debra Fadool, Timothy McClintock, Rose McDermott, Adam Gopnik, Rachel Laudan, Charles Michel, Harriet Oster, Patricia Pliner, Janet Polivy, Malte Rubach, Edmund Rolls, Diana Rosenstein, Dana Small, Leslie Stein, Beverly Tepper, Michael Tordoff, Jordan Troisi, Hong Wang, and Jeremy Wolfe, each of whom offered resources and wisdomand most especially Gordon Shephard, for founding the field of neurogastronomy and his munificence of spirit and mind.

I am eternally grateful to Gabriel G-H, Sumaya Partner, and various friends and acquaintances who provided inspiration and iconic anecdotes. I also wish to thank the people who lost their sense of smell and let me work for them and learn from them. This book would not be what it is today were it not for my friends and family members who alerted me to pertinent facts and findings and who assisted with various facets of this book: Judith Herz, Jamie Poy, Nathaniel Herz, Kathleen McCann, John McCann, Eliza Van Reen, Kathryn Goetzke, Steve Meersmanalso, for the best carrot cake everand Ron Therbarge for discussions on mindfulness and how they can be applied to reduce cravings. Special appreciation goes to Mary Carskadon for involving me in her sleep, circadian biology, and food intake research and for her support and friendship through the years.

I also give heartfelt thanks to my smell and taste buddies Theresa White, John Prescott, and Martha Bajec, for laughter, motivation, and intellectual invigoration, and my other friends who gave me unwavering encouragement. Above all, my gratitude goes to those who fed my heart and mind at home while I worked on this book: Molly, whose beautiful soul and constant companionship gave me such joy, and Zoe, who brought new life and lovetheir boundless passion for eating was a continuous inspiration; my mother, Judith, for being an exceptional mentor, SRA, and friend with words; and most of all, my husband, Jamie, who listened and thought and ate with me.
