"When we no longer have good cooking in the world, we will have no literature, no high and sharp intelligence, no friendly gatherings, no social harmony."
Antonin Careme, "L'arte della cucina francese"
Gastronomy is the study of the relationship between culture and food. It is often thought erroneously that the term gastronomy refers exclusively to the art of cooking,but this is only a small part of this discipline; it cannot always be said that a cook is also a gourmet. Gastronomy studies various cultural components with food as its central axis. Thus it is related to the Fine Arts and Social Sciences, and even to the Natural Sciences in terms of the digestive system of the human body. Culinary art is the art of preparing and cooking foods. The word "culinary" is defined as something related to, or connected with, cooking. Culinary artists are responsible for skillfully preparing meals that are as pleasing to the palate as to the eye.Increasingly they are required to have a knowledge of the science of food and an understanding of diet and nutrition.
There is a tendency to judge food and cooking solely by what it looks like. When dining out, taste and aroma are demoted in favor of stylistic architecture. People, especially Americans, are losing the ability and sensibility of how to taste. Americans no longer savor or appreciate the joy and satisfaction of eating. Entertaining and pleasant conversations over dinner seem to have disappeared; food fads come and go before ever having had a chance to even establish an identity.
