"In recent years, there has been an enormous increase in knowledge related to flavour, from the fields of physics, chemistry, psychology, neuroscience and, most recently, the new field of molecular gastronomy. I hope that Flavour will provide a forum for scientists interested in flavour and that it will facilitate understanding of the ways flavour shapes our world; from pleasure to its broader effects on food choice, behaviour and health."

"I am passionate about good food and cooking, so I hope that the articles in Flavour will not only further our understanding of all the processes that go to developing and appreciating the flavour of the food we eat, but will also provide me, and many others with new ideas to try out in our own kitchens so we can prepare ever better dishes."

"I'm looking forward to reading exciting new scientific results on the science of taste and flavour that I can apply in my kitchen in the new journal Flavour."

"I welcome any initiative, which will give chefs easier access to the latest scientific landmarks within the world of food and flavours. And I believe that is exactly what the journal Flavour will do. Looking very much forward to it on behalf of both noma and Nordic Food Lab."

"Many patients with cancer and other long lasting diseases lose weight and suffer severely from malnutrition. The main reason is inadequate food intake and it appears that changes in sensory requirements play a major role. Flavour can become a very useful journal for the necessary scientific development in this area."

"It is possible, it might even be very smart, to combat obesity, global warming and the over-exploitation of our planet, with deliciousness as a weapon. I am sure that Flavour will give us crucial insight in the pleasure giving qualities of food."

Claus Meyer, co-founder of Noma (voted S.Pellegrino's World's Best Restaurant 2010)

"The sensation of taste is perhaps the most important dimension of cooking. Flavour is an exciting journal that will present the latest scientific discoveries in this important area, with implications for anyone who cares about food."
