Only later, after many a restaurant meal, did the thrill wear off. Oh, the spices, the scents, the bite of mustard seeds and chutney were still pleasant, but why, especially in Boston Indian restaurants, did the dishes all seem to taste the same? Why so much creamy tomato gravy...
...weakened perception of taste and odor. Make sure the dining room is well lighted, and use white plates so you can see your food. Try ethnic recipes--they tend to be higher in flavor. Grilling naturally puts an additional flavor into a dish. Use flavor-intensive foods like garlic, tomato paste and fruit nectars.

Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs on a dish immediately before serving or, better yet, put them on the table so diners can season their own food. Add garnishes of high-flavor...
Five years after U.S. regulators approved the first genetically altered food crop, the "FlavrSavr" tomato, there are all manner of brave new foods on the way: beans and grains with more protein, caffeine-less coffee beans, strawberries packed with more natural sugars, and potatoes that soak up less fat during frying.

Until last week, however, the data were anything but conclusive. A study reported at last week's meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research shows that daily doses of lycopene, an antioxidant that ripens tomatoes and gives them their red color, may not only prevent prostate cancer but shrink existing tumors as well. Men who took 30 mg of the supplement (the quantity found in 2 lbs. to 3 lbs. of tomatoes) had lower levels...
