It's a digestive aid. That's it. If you think cooking has anything to do with taste then explain honey.

Cooking for the past 10,000 years has been art and wivestales. Only recently have soy-faced, flabby "men" decided to start applying the scientific method to cooking to show us the "right" way to cook.
It's all pendants who get off on saying "well actually" when in actuality, the difference most of the suggestions make are inconsequential and 99.99% of people wouldn't notice the difference.

When I see scenes like this I like to imagine that moments after the painting was completed, the rape gang from "Death Wish 2" burst onto the scene, wordlessly clubbed each of the kids to death with a hammer, had their way with the wife, and didn't touch the husband other than keeping him seated at gunpoint to ensure that he'd have survivor's guilt. For him, it would be the greatest day of his life. For them, though, it would just be Tuesday.

Not to derail, but since YOU Brought it up;Vaccinations are TRULY moar of and "ART" then that ""SCIENCE"" you so cherish as true..
I prefer my Bouillabaisse to NOT have cover-ups surrounding it..
at least HALF of the ART of cooking, is to also KNOW your patrons' palates.

It's a craft. Like bricklaying, farming or welding. You ignore the science your result will be shit.

It's not an art as it's too susceptible to fads and fashion. It has no staying power. Compare Roman cookbooks with the Renaissance (fistfuls of sugar and spices), the 19th century (Cauderlier, Artusi, to a much lesser extent Escoffier), the 1950s, 1980s, the '00s and today and you'll see that they're entirely different.

The best way to approach cooking is:
-read a lot, especially old books. The ones that are still in circulation today were written by the better chefs, with lots of footnotes with product info, and tips everybody stole from everyone else
-cook a lot, of course
-get to know your region: what edible plants grow where, whose cows are out in the pastures
-shop often and talk to vendors: learn what produce is in season. Wine, cheese, beer, butter, milk, veg, fruit, fish, you name it: they're all better in a particular time of year.

It’s both. The technical aspects of how good behaves and what certain ingredients do chemically is not up for debate. However, what looks, smells, and tastes good is purely subjective and that’s where the artistic component lies.
