Why is robusta mandatory? Every reference to it I have ever read mentions it exclusively in terms of its inferiority to Arabica coffee. Yours is the first pro-robusta mention I've ever seen.

I think plain old toast smells delicious, it makes the whole house smell yummy. I don't know if anyone makes them, but I've often thought there should be a toast-scented candle.

What do you make that smells so good you can't wait to eat the dish? Even if, like onions and garlic, it's just a small part of the overall flavor?

My favorite is onions in real butter....

Shallots and fresh rosemary with some grapeseed oil saute before putting your meat on it is very flagrant.

I always use shallots because it doesn't have as much water as onions which can burn too quickly.
