Abstract

Strange though may seem, the practice of cooking has an intrinsic aesthetic and political value. In this chapter, I use the perspective of relational philosophy (a with-y approach) to propose understanding cooking as participatory education, a laboratory for cultivating an integral and ecological sensibility that corresponds to holistic aesthetic education. Based on conviviality, sharing, and caring, cooking has strong socio-political implications. I explore these issues through the lens of John Dewey’s pioneering vision of cooking and taste as aesthetic activities. Subsequently, I link this ensemble of themes to somaesthetics and to the Sōtō Buddhist school founded by Dōgen. Finally, I offer some contemporary examples (the edible school gardens project, participatory art performances, and an unconventional appreciation of wine) to support the notion that an education with and through food (rather than of food) develops a (soma)aesthetic sensibility through which it is possible to oppose and redress some aspects of today’s—fragmented, hyper-specialized, and individualistic—social and educational system.
