Editor's Notes

  1. LES ARTS DU GOÛT : de la gourmandise à une culture générale de l’alimentation La question du goût traverse la quasi-totalité des savoirs enseignés à l’École. Elle se pose aussi, évidemment, dans les cantines scolaires, où le plaisir gustatif doit trouver sa place aux côtés des impératifs essentiels que sont la sécurité alimentaire et le respect de la diététique. Éduquer le goût revient, dans cette perspective, à favoriser l’accès à la richesse des patrimoines culinaires dont la vitalité demeure intimement liée à la connaissance et à la pratique qu’en auront les jeunes générations. Comment décrire une saveur ? Selon quelle logique se construit un repas ? Qu’est-ce que le «risque alimentaire»? Comment s’invente une variété de fruits ou de légumes? Notre ambition est simple : doter chaque élève d’une véritable culture générale alimentaire, qui lui sera utile tout au long de sa vie, sollicitant la gourmandise que Rousseau appelle «la passion de l’enfance». Le goût s’articule aux savoirs enseignés   Le plan pour les arts et la culture à l’École à l’École, à l’histoire, à la géographie, à l’expression orale et écrite qui permettent de dépasser le « j’aime/je n’aime pas » et d’argumenter sur ses préférences alimentaires. Les grandes orientations visent à : • Favoriser l’acquisition des catégories fondamentales du goût dès le plus jeune âge, la connaissance des saveurs, des textures, des grandes familles d’aliments, afin de permettre aux enfants de découvrir et de réfléchir à la richesse de la palette gustative. • Articuler les connaissances techniques aux patrimoines culinaires régionaux, en s’appuyant sur la géographie (climat, sol) et l’histoire culturelle (croisement des peuples dans une même région). • Faire cuisiner les élèves dans des classes de goût, avec des professionnels qualifiés (spécialistes des sciences du goût ou cuisiniers) et dans des locaux adaptés, pour initier enfants et adolescents aux logiques (notamment diététiques) à l’oeuvre dans un repas (en relation aussi avec les principes et les contraintes de confection des menus des cantines scolaires), à la transformation des aliments, à la mise en oeuvre inventive des recettes. • Favoriser et développer les initiatives existant sur le terrain : le cahier des charges diététiques pour les cantines, les «journées des mamies dans les cantines», les kits éducatifs, les visites et les partenariats avec les artisans, etc.

Elle se pose aussi, évidemment, dans les cantines scolaires, où le plaisir gustatif doit trouver sa place aux côtés des impératifs essentiels que sont la sécurité alimentaire et le respect de la diététique. Éduquer le goût revient, dans cette perspective, à favoriser l’accès à la richesse des patrimoines culinaires dont la vitalité demeure intimement liée à la connaissance et à la pratique qu’en auront les jeunes générations. Comment décrire une saveur ? Selon quelle logique se construit un repas ? Qu’est-ce que le «risque alimentaire»? Comment s’invente une variété de fruits ou de légumes? Notre ambition est simple : doter chaque élève d’une véritable culture générale alimentaire, qui lui sera utile tout au long de sa vie, sollicitant la gourmandise que Rousseau appelle «la passion de l’enfance». Le goût s’articule aux savoirs enseignés   Le plan pour les arts et la culture à l’École à l’École, à l’histoire, à la géographie, à l’expression orale et écrite qui permettent de dépasser le « j’aime/je n’aime pas » et d’argumenter sur ses préférences alimentaires. Les grandes orientations visent à : • Favoriser l’acquisition des catégories fondamentales du goût dès le plus jeune âge, la connaissance des saveurs, des textures, des grandes familles d’aliments, afin de permettre aux enfants de découvrir et de réfléchir à la richesse de la palette gustative. • Articuler les connaissances techniques aux patrimoines culinaires régionaux, en s’appuyant sur la géographie (climat, sol) et l’histoire culturelle (croisement des peuples dans une même région). • Faire cuisiner les élèves dans des classes de goût, avec des professionnels qualifiés (spécialistes des sciences du goût ou cuisiniers) et dans des locaux adaptés, pour initier enfants et adolescents aux logiques (notamment diététiques) à l’oeuvre dans un repas (en relation aussi avec les principes et les contraintes de confection des menus des cantines scolaires), à la transformation des aliments, à la mise en oeuvre inventive des recettes. • Favoriser et développer les initiatives existant sur le terrain : le cahier des charges diététiques pour les cantines, les «journées des mamies dans les cantines», les kits éducatifs, les visites et les partenariats avec les artisans, etc.
