Culinary arts came up in a discussion during class, and it made me want to make another post about it. Previously I asked if the process of cooking was the art or if the final dish was the art. This time, I am going to address whether or not the culinary field is actually art.
Many may argue that it is not such, because it can be consumed and it is gone quickly. However, it requires a certain skill, and it is still aesthetically pleasing. There are more aspects to the aesthetics of food, however, since all five senses should actually be used to appreciate the art of it all.
So I guess in the end, the culinary arts should definitely be included into the art world, no matter how "simple" the dish.
Do you agree?
