Season to Taste · How I Lost My Sense of Smell and Found My Way

“A rich, engrossing, and deeply intelligent story….This is a book I won’t soon forget.”

—Molly Wizenberg, bestselling author of *A Homemade Life*

“Fresh, smart, and consistently surprising. If this beautifully written book were a smell, it would be a crisp green apple.”

—Claire Dederer, bestselling author of *Poser*

*Season to Taste* is an aspiring chef’s moving account of finding her way—in the kitchen and beyond—after a tragic accident destroys her sense of smell. Molly Birnbaum’s remarkable story—written with the good cheer and great charm of popular food writers Laurie Colwin and Ruth Reichl—is destined to stand alongside Julie Powell’s *Julie and Julia* as a classic tale of a cooking life. *Season to Taste* is sad, funny, joyous, and inspiring.
