When it came to spices, she'd sniff them fiercely, trusting her olfactory senses more than any measuring spoon.
Now, I sometimes struggled to follow her guidelines. But, when it came to spices, I was sure that she was bonkers. How could you possibly measure the optimal amount of cinnamon just by smelling it?
