You love to eat. But do you know how to taste?

AuthorsLive at Greenwich Library is delighted to welcome award-winning professional taster and author of How to Taste: A Guide to Discovering Flavor and Savoring Life, Mandy Naglich—one of less than 100 Advanced Cicerones in the world—for a delectable sensory romp through the science of flavor.

Perfect for foodie fans of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat as well as Cork Dork and The Flavor Equation, the instant classic How to Taste is both a sumptuous behind-the-scenes tour and a fun, appetizing, and informative how-to that covers everything from wine and cheese to ice cream and honey, tea, chocolate, and even water, from the science of taste and the rituals of creating a fine-tuned palate, to plucking flavor descriptions from the tip of your tongue, and learning how appreciating food can help you appreciate life.
