It happens to me fairly often. Usually, it’s with food I find less than appetizing, but it’s not bad by any means. I think the problem stems from the fact that I cooked for about 8 years for my job. There was a lot of standing and eating, tasting dishes as I went, cooking food that I was never going to eat while I was hungry, etc…
Does anyone else share this problem?
I’m really not associating the act of cooking with work, I really enjoy it actually, I think it’s more of the smell fatigue you mention. I’ve already ordered my comfort food (yellow thai curry), but next time it happens, I’ll give that a try. Because it’s not like I’m not hungry, I just look at it, and I’m like damn I would rather starve than eat this.
Try making food you like then?
