The Top Four Foods for a Yummy Kitchen Smell

Cafe Society

I have concluded that there are four foods, which if you’re cooking, guarantee that people will come into the kitchen and say, “mmmm! smells good!”

Those top four are:

  1. bacon

  2. onions

  3. butter

  4. coffee.

Yesterday, I had a trifecta: frying onions and bacons in butter, just as some guests arrived. They almost swooned.

I’d have to change a couple.

  1. Bacon
  2. Coffee
  3. Cinnamon Rolls
  4. Sugar Cookies

  1. Fresh bread
  2. Coffee
  3. Steamed rice
  4. Bacon

You forgot garlic & onions sweating in good olive oil.

I don’t put coffee in my potato soup. However, I do cook the bacon and onions in some butter. The recipe calls for it. I use a variation of this recipe. I don’t put in pepper, and I use chicken broth rather than vegetable broth. I don’t bother with buttermilk, I just use regular milk…and I shred a carrot into the soup, to give a bit of color and flavor. This involves three of the four smells, and I’ve been assured that it is a very yummy soup indeed.

  1. Chocolate Chip Cookies
  2. Apple Pie (load w/cinnamon for best results)
  3. Caramelizing Onions
  4. Bread (raisin cinnamon bread best for the purpose)

During my brief stint in high end timeshare sales (hate me now) we baked chocolate chip cookies and mini cinnamon rolls (from commercial pre-made dough) in the model unit to entice people to feel “at home” there.

Sauteeing onions in butter. That’s the smell of my mom’s kitchen. When I walk into my parents’ house and I smell that, I know that everything is right in the world.
