Can somebody please explain to me the difference between "goûter qc" et "goûter à qc"? None of the dictionaries I have consulted is clear on it or at least I don't understand.
I have found the following examples:
1. Le cuisinier goûte la sauce.
2. Goûte donc ce fromage: tu verras comme il est bon!
3. Goûtez donc à ce fromage.
4. Goûtez-y!
Especially 2. and 3. sound very similar to me, but once "à" is used and a COD in the other one.
