Favourite Aromas

For me, it’s:

  • Kasuri methi (fenugreek leaves)
  • Garlic when it hits a hot pan
  • Freshly brewed coffee
  • Home-made bread
  • Home-made brownies

What are your favourite aromas in the kitchen? :faizy:

We have a polish town in Michigan, USA. All the houses have one oddity (i think this is to save on plumbing). Bathrooms are attached to kitchens and the door opens in the kitchen. So really, you could appreciate my pick of aroma while inside a kitchen.

Butter biscuits, shortbread kind.. I used to make these following a recipe when I was 16-17, the smell of those being baked was divine.. I've lost the recipe now*sigh* how I crave those
