According to scientific evidence, the visual appearance of the food is more likely to stimulate your appetite than the smell of the food. For example, a 2012 study discovered that simply glancing at photos of food might produce an increase in ghrelin, a hunger hormone. Have you ever wondered why your protagonist enjoys these foods so much? What kind of taste do they admire? You don’t want to know? Why don’t you give it a shot and see for yourself how good the food is? In this article, we’ll look at 5 recipes inspired by fairy tales.
