Why is it important?
Chefs mainly receive a practical training on how to cook, using their knowledge of cooking techniques and their senses to guide them, but they do not know the theory on mechanisms of sensory perception.
Perspectives
Knowledge on sensory perception and aesthetics can help professionalizing the education of cooks and chefs, and assist in the innovation of food products and menus.
