Hello. I can’t really taste or smell anything since birth.

Cooking for myself is fine but I only know texture is is good. It might taste unedible for all I know.

I will have to cook for other people at some point in future afterall. Any of you found a trick to use during covid or something?

Please tell me even if it’s not that effective. I have no idea how to fix this. Thank you very much.

    I learned cooking by strictly following the recepy. If you do that, for example Pasta Napoli, you will be fine. It’s a simple recepy, but most people like it. And everyone can add salt, parmesan or whatever they like afterwards.

    To a certain point, cooking has more to do with seeing what’s happening (when is water boiling, when are onions fried enough etc.) then tasting it. So you should be fine.

      I think this is going to be your best answer. Follow recipes exactly, and favor dishes that allow for additions after the fact (condiments, cheese, salt/pepper, hot sauce, etc)
