Our tongues detect only 5 basic tastes - sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami, while our olfactory system boasts around 400 functional receptors, capable of distinguishing trillions of unique scents. This is why aroma accounts for up to 80% of flavour perception, transforming eating from a simple biological function into a rich, multi-sensory experience.

Learning to cook from aroma perspective is an art perfected by Street Food vendors.
