“The term culinary art refers to the process of cooking and arranging food. Culinary art is more than just cooking, however. Professionals in this field not only prepare palatable food, they also create edible works of art, so to speak. Generally, the food is carefully prepared and arranged so that it is pleasing to both the taste buds as well as the eyes.”
