Taking a Breather

You all might have noticed that I've taken a bit of a breather here at Minxeats while I've been concentrating more on my fragrance blog, Minxstinks. I haven't given up on blogging here quite yet - Minxeats is 20 years old this August, and I hope to write about food for several more years to come. It's just that 20 years is a long time, and while I still have ideas for recipes and I still watch Top Chef, sometimes I just don't feel like writing. But the Fancy Food Show is coming up next month, so I'll have the opportunity to try lots more new products and bring them to you here. (I was sad to miss last year's show.)

In the meantime, here are some of my somewhat food-related perfume posts for you to read or not. No, really...there are lots of perfumes that are food-y. It's a thing these days.

Here's a post about my thoughts on "gourmand" fragrances--ones that smell like food, primarily of the dessert variety. Read that one here.

One perfumer put out three dessert-scented frags at a time last year. These sounded like they could have potential, but I was largely disappointed when I actually put my nose to them. Read that post here.

A number of companies have produced pistachio-scented fragrances in the last handful of years. Or scents purported to smell like pistachio. I've yet to find one that does, but D.S. & Durga Pistachio smells so amazing, I'm willing to give it a pass. Read about that one here.

Dessert fragrances make sense though, right? How about savory stuff like potatoes? There is actually a potato note in this scent. Read about it here.

As if potatoes aren't strange enough, how about a perfume that smells like pizza? Read about that one here.
