cooking for pleasure

I would have used the fine art of gourmet cooking, but I imagine you are trying to tie it in with Genuss in both places. maybe:

"learning for pleasure" and the "high art of cooking for pleasure"
or fine art , as Bogdan has already suggested
Peer comment(s):

agree Nesrin : I'd go for "the high art of cooking for pleasure"

If anything, "gourmand" is closer to the German than "gourmet".
Acc. to the The New Oxford Dictionary:
Both can be used to mean ’a connoisseur of good food’ but gourmand is more usually used to mean ’a person who enjoys eating and often eats too much’.

Post-grading, but see this current story:

Bangkok banquet beckons for rich

It refers to "Epicurean Masters of the World" and indeed "gourmand" - but there is no mention of "gourmet"!!
