Author Biography
Ronald DeVere, MD, had practiced neurology for 30 years when he lost part of his ability to smell in 1995. He began researching smell and taste disorders in-depth after discovering a lack of information available on the subject. As a result of his research he opened the Taste and Smell Disorders Clinic in Austin, Texas, as part of his practice and is director of the clinic to this day. Marjorie Calvert turned her passion for cooking into a career at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin, Texas. In 2004 she joined the staff of the Taste and Smell Disorders Clinic as food consultant and has been instrumental in developing the clinic's taste testing study, food preparation guidelines, and recipes.
