Texture is key to a delicious meal. How to feel for ripeness and know when a dish is done. How to hold your knife so that you never cut yourself. Training the muscles to remember common tasks.

When is something brown, but not too brown? How small should I chop the leaves in a salad? Our eyes can do a lot of cooking -if they know what to look for.

We discuss the complexity of scents by giving specific words to describe what we're smelling. There is a trade-off between vocabulary and sense: the more your brain can label what it's experiencing, the more it can experience.

We place microphones very close to the food to get every sensation of cooking. How our ears can tell how hot the pan is, which watermelon is ripe, how fresh the greens are, or where the garlic skin is.

Taste is the key to it all. Let the flavor ninjas take you on a tour of your mouth as we talk about the difference between sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami, and spicy.
