    I’m pretty sure most cooks use spices according to their internal feelings on what contexts the spices work well in. Basically the smell test except they have enough experience with the spice already to just do it in their head. Pretty sure this isn’t that unusual.

      I have a very sensitive sense of smell, and I still can’t do it. I’ll always add too much or not enough.
