    Pretty sure it’s something about becoming desensitised to the smells of the ingredients. I know I read a pop-sci article about it years ago; so take that with a helpful of salt.

      that’s actually very logical…I still think it’s all the extra butter chefs use, but I can see being desensitized from cooking.

      That makes sense. Sometimes when I’m cooking, I find that I need to take some time away from cooking before doing the final taste test and seasoning.
