+1. Got to be bacon. Best cooking smell ever.

In fact: Bacon. Smelt whilst inside a tent, waking up and knowing it's being cooked up for you outside.

Unforgettable.

Good call there Don - just about makes camping tolerable!

As said before, for me it's bread just brought out of the oven.

The smell of bacon has made many vegetarians mend their ways I think.

Banana bread baking is a good one.
Its hard to beat slow-fried, caremelised onions either, especially once a splash of red has gone in.

[grumbledoak]

Got to be bread or roasting chicken, for me.

[Cheese Mechanic]

The smell of someone else's cooking.

Most certainly do!

Gormeh sabzi is perhaps my favourite of all dishes. Bloody time consuming to prepare and cook, though.

Being the lazy sod I am, I usually just head for a Persian restaurant when I need a fix.

Onions frying in butter.

White wine being reduced in a sauce or in a caserole.

[bazking69]

the waft of bbq also does it for me.

[sherman]

Properly brewed fresh coffee.
