That's true! It's amazing how children are more likely to eat foods they've prepared themselves. A great trick to introduce nutritious foods!
It's fascinating how kids tend to explore and embrace new foods when the familiarity kicks in.
Familiarity certainly helps, especially when they're surrounded by the wonderful aroma filling the kitchen during cooking!

You're right about how the sense of smell and taste are connected and influence our memories and experience of eating. The aromatic flavors of a hearty soup or stew lingering in the house on a rainy day is such a comforting and inviting smell. It's like a warm embrace, making us anticipate the meal ahead.

The power of smell is amazing; it can really transport you somewhere else, or someone's kitchen in this case! I'm curious to know what everyone's go-to slow-cooked dishes are. Something that can be prepared and forgotten about on the stove for a while, emitting tantalizing aromas.
I love braised beef stew with lots of herbs and spices. The longer it cooks, the more tender the meat becomes. The aroma of the herbs really permeates the entire house and is a comforting smell that never fails to delight my senses and bring the family together.
