Taste like it smells?

Factual Questions
1

I know that taste and smell are closely related - and so this question comes to mind. How come I can walk into a kitchen with 10 different things cooking and it all smells good in one whiff but would all taste bad in one mouthful? Can I somehow separate the spaghetti sauce and baking apple pie with my nose but not with my tastebuds? How come the smell isn’t bad, too?

Have you ever tried pouring spaghetti sauce over apple pie? It’s certainly a different taste, but quite pleasent none the less
