yumminess

How food satisfies

Yumminess is the quality of being delicious or appealing to the taste.

The word is informal and playful, often used by or around children: The yumminess of fresh-baked cookies filled the kitchen.

It extends to non-food pleasures: the sheer yumminess of a lazy Sunday morning.
