Can food be art? Should we talk about creative cooking as a craft or can it be considered art, and if it can do we really want to focus on that aspect of it.
A mix of philosophical and practical thoughts on food and art from a chef with a philosophy background.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments, can food be art and would you rather talk about it as art or craft.
