7 Arts includes Cooking too?

The culinary and architectural have been linked together before and I have to add my two cents to the discussion after reading a very architectural statement about the 'key to winning the (cooking) contest is three-fold' and that is, 'the chef must prove his technical skills in the kitchen, he must show outstanding taste in the food and the presentation of the dish must impress too'.

Are those not the same key ingredients to producing architecture? Master the first and we at least have well constructed and robust buildings to surround us, add the second and you get significance and a resonance between all three get us Architecture.
