The aim of this study is to question the descriptive aspects of the gastronomy as an art or not. First, the terms of “aestheticâ€, “beautiful†and “creativity†are reviewed. The case of Ferran Adria’s works was evaluated how avant-garde postmodern art movements effected. It was concluded that gastronomy can be accepted as an art and new cookery applications can be defined as contemporary art.
