Abstract
When trying to define «art» we find very diverse points of view. Even though there seems to be consensus upon the following statement: «Art is the manifestation of human activity by which Juan expresses a personal and uninterested vision interpreting what is real or imagined with plastic, linguistic or sonorous resources; it is also considered to be the ensemble of necessary rules and precepts for something to be done with ability and virtuosity». Nevertheless, when there is a judgment call on some artistic manifestations such as bullfighting or specific objects, this general notion goes into crisis. This is the source of the idea of revising diverse authors' points of view as to whether gastronomy can be or not considered an art. Even though in Kant's Critique of Judgment one may infer that it is not an art, other authors" postures consider culinary art, not only as one more, but as the art par excellence. Its appreciation involves all senses in a way not done by any other art, which makes it more complete. If what, in last instance, determines whether an object (dish) is a work of art or a mere need satisfactory, is the use of required techniques, planned objectives and produced effects, then gastronomy is art, because it widely complies with each and every one of these criteria.
