Abstract

This article is a comment to the Symposium on the Contamination of Practices. It starts by discussing the implication of contaminating theory in general and practice theory in particular. Then, it concentrates more specifically on three articles included in the Symposium, focussed on cooking by professional chefs, wine-tasting and fashion modelling.
