What is Gastronomy?
According to Britannica.com, Gastronomy is defined as "the art of selecting, preparing, serving, and enjoying fine food." As a branch of culinary studies, it is interested in the overlap between food, culture, and tradition.
It investigates why certain cultures are known for their particular cuisines and why it has such a social impact. These concepts of gastronomy have infiltrated society through its value of diverse foods and sustainable ingredients.
