Cooking: Art or Craft? - Page 2

post #31 of 35
I seem to remember taking arts and crafts as a kid- it was the same class.

Yeah but they differentiated between them or else it would be craft appreciation in college....or just art or just craft.

What does it hurt? If someone has a mindset that says cooking can be an art
Does it degrade or deminish a craftsman.... no! Those are the guys in the trenches doing it every night, they are the ones replicating the creations. One is not better than the other it's just different.

So a concert pianist playing Mozart isn't an artist? BTW, I think Unichef was just making a joke (and it doesn't hurt anything for anybody to hold either opinion).

Interesting Rules of Art.....isn't there just self-expression...rules are for breaking/ or do you have to conform to "rules" to be an artist?

I don't wish to determine whither cooking is an art or craft. IT IS BOTH! Not either /or, this or that. Come on people! Where is the logic in it? It's like going to an art gallery and stairing at a 500 year old painting and determine what they were trying to say when they would stroke they're brush. Cooking is was what it is; sexual by design, sinful by taste, a learning experience, a comfort and a birth of reasoning.
