  • Some people may be sensitive to food smells such as cooked fish, cabbage or garlic. So, keep food aromas to a minimum by: 
    1. ​Opening a window to maximize air flow.​​
    2. Eating foods cold or at room temperature, they do not smell as strong as hot foods.
    3. Drinking liquids through a straw to avoid their smell. 
    4. Asking a friend or family member to prepare foods. 
    5. Baking with pots or pans with a tight fitting lid. Or try cooking in a parchment paper package, or known in French cuisine as en papilotte.
