Writing Sensory Description

298.6 Lesson 06 of 08 3 quiz questions 1 assignment

A recipe lives or dies on whether the reader can taste it before they cook it. This lesson is about sensory description — the deliberate use of words to evoke taste, aroma, texture, and even sound. The book sets the bar in its very first lines, describing the act of cooking as transforming simple ingredients into “sensual ones,” and promising dishes that can “tempt even the fussiest palate.” That is the effect we are after on the page.
