Evaporation is directly proportional to temperature, means hot food evaporates easily.
Diffusion of hot food vapors with air becomes very fast and can reach to a distant place within a very short time.

Particles in the air, if fueled with higher temperatures, acquire high kinetic energy which aids them to move fast over a stretch. Hence the smell of hot sizzling food reaches a person even at a distance of several meters.
Hope it Helps !!
