Wednesdays at SENSORIYUM we relish in the endlessly satisfying let-me-be-known confident sounds of crunchy foods. From homemade chips and breadsticks to crackers or cookies, the sound of a good crunch can boost a mood and amplify the vibe. What are your favorite loud, crunchy, refuse-to-be-muffled foods? Food models and samples today are from @keyassnacks @barpisellino @samuelssweetshop #crunch #food #chips #eat

Tuesdays are for sniffing around at SENSORIYUM and today in particular, we are thinking about TRUFFLES. Where do you stand? Our EIC @kristinlwolfe is quite obsessed with the aroma, calling it “intoxicating” and yet fully aware some people don’t get the hype or care in the least. Included in today’s post is a glimpse from a visit (and purchase) with @sabatinotruffles , a delicious bite @husonyc , and a recipe by Chef @chefcarlosperez from @athecorner Tell us your thoughts on truffles! #truffle #winter #aroma #food #tuesday

Welcome to the SENSORIYUM SUNDAY SALON, a place to sit and reflect—and maybe, write—about a single sensory-filled memory: when you think about your childhood and food, what memories pop up? #food #memory #sunday #reflection #prompt

Saturdays at SENSORIYUM are for TASTING, for really getting in there to not just bite, chew, and eat for fuel but to SAVOR every part of what you are eating. Use your whole body to get in there; relish all the flavors spinning around your mouth; what do you notice about them? Is it one glorious note albeit delicious, or like Kramer from Seinfeld once said, is it “like a circus” your mouth? Take a moment to notice! Thanks to some of my favorite people for vigorously eating with me, especially my husband @rickinny who, thankfully does so with gusto, therefore making the best model #taste #flavor #food #eat #goodfood

Fridays at SENSORIYUM we focus on FEEL and TOUCH through food. Whether it is from the smooth, soft pillows of dough, the chill of ice cream touching our lips, or peeling fruit and clinking cheers with friends on a Friday night, we hope you feel and touch your way to a delicious weekend. Featured pics include @fattoamanobakeryct @eatcops @wayla.nyc @janesicecream1985 @bangkoksupperclubnyc @zola_bakes #feel #touch #food #weekend #friday

We call Thursdays at SENSORIYUM our STILL LIFE day. It is a moment to pause and reflect on what we’ve accomplished so far and what is left to tackle. In terms of the senses, where have they peeked, perked up, or been surprised? Further still, in terms of food, which sensory experience stands out most? Did your nose relish the aroma of a new herb or spice? Did handling a jalapeno create a fierce burn on your palms as it did for me? Or did you knead some soft fresh dough to your heart’s content? Our Still Life today is quite literally a Still Life called BASKET OF FRUIT by Caravaggio from 1596-1601. It is remarkable even just the vibrancy of color hundreds of years on; at closer investigation, you see what was once a lovely basket of fruit is slowly aging, wilting, turning, withering away before our eyes yet holding on. #stilllife #art #sensory #food #follow

On Wednesdays at SENSORIYUM, we listen. We love a good sizzle, snap, chop or sound of a good sauté. The crackle of a good bread, the creamy ooze of sauce around a noodle, the whistling steam from a giant pot, and the hum of the espresso machine gets us going. Add to that the crisp crunch of a delicious chip, the crackle from fried chicken skin, or the edge of a perfect cookie, and we’re in an auditory oasis! Some of our model sounds featured here include food by @chefreidshilling @barpisellino @fairhavenoysterco Moonraker @pendrywharfdc @shukanyc @lesserevilsnacks @ladeliziosapastryshoppe Favorite food sound? Let us know.. #follow #food #crunch #pop #crisp

On Tuesdays at SENSORIYUM we use our noses to SMELL, sniff, whiff, and investigate the olfactory sense; from the intoxicating aroma of coffee or cinnamon, to some smells that may be up for debate like garlic, cilantro, curry or rosemary. Why is that the very smell of coffee can wake us up or the aroma of cinnamon brings on memories of the holidays? Sense memory is very powerful, in fact, the most powerful sense for triggering and evoking the past, and is often used in memory therapy. What does the aroma of coffee do for you? I have countless wonderful coffee experiences but these pics are from some at @shipwrightsdaughter @thinkcoffeenyc Grand Italia by @saccuzzocoffee @frenchettenyc @pastisnyc @popovermystic #coffee #sense #memory #food #nostalgia

On Mondays at SENSORIYUM, we’ll go SIGHTSEEING. Sometimes a dish is so beautiful you might pause before eating and say, “Ohhhh, this is way too pretty to eat.” Many of us agree, however, that that thought usually just lasts a few seconds. But we do tend to eat with our eyes and utilize visual cues that often inform us about how something might taste. Is it colorful, arranged beautifully, shiny or textured? Our brains even tell us when something looks “sweet” or “sour” or “cold and hot”. All cues make a determination about our level of upcoming dining satisfaction. Thoughts? All of the meals or dishes featured were thoroughly enjoyed visually before being both savored and devoured with the utmost joy.
