MADRID - One of the side-effects of chemotherapy in cancer patients is dysgeusia, an impaired sense of taste that can leave a patient’s favourite foods, such as chocolate, with no flavour at all.His friend, the chef Orio Blanes, has been living with dysgeusia for two years, and that also inspired Roca to create the The Sense of Cocoa experience, now a documentary.
“It was as if the dessert had a heartbeat ... the heartbeat of the life I’m fighting for,” said Susana Quevedo who was deeply moved after eating Roca’s white chocolate dessert. The challenge faced by the chef was to help the patients reconnect with chocolate flavours they had lost, via “other aural, visual and tactile sensations,” he said.
