This website has these main aims

Widen the understanding of Gastronomy in the public mind

Promote the enjoyment of food and drink

Increase the number of devotees of Gastronomy

Create an international forum on Gastronomy

Create a resource base for use by devotees of Gastronomy including its students, teachers and other professionals within the broad sphere of hospitality

Give control of the resource base including this website in entirely improved form to an educational organisation or reputable company.

To  help achieve these aims, these pages include information, the views of Gastronomy writers past and present, and opportunities for devotees to delve deeper into the subject.

In the everyday use, Gastronomy means the enjoyment of food and drink. It is taken for granted that we enjoy our food more in company so the social aspects are entwined in the word.  All that is within every webpage title.  "Gastronomy is life" is the subtitle of most blog pages which provide additional coverage.
