Gourmet vs. Gourmand

Oh dear, with the start of another year and another term, my craziness has left my blog neglected, not to mention the lack of time to experiment with cooking...

I just discovered the book "Kitchen Mysteries: Revealing the Science of Cooking" by Hervé This (translated from French). I haven't made much progress, but within the first few pages, I realized that I should technically be a "Gourmand Scientist" rather than a "Gourmet Scientist." Why?

"A gourmand is one who likes good food, and a gourmet is one who takes delight in wines" -- Hervé This

Hmm...was never fully aware of the word gourmand nor the exact definition of 'gourmet...

Now, should I venture to change my name???? *dilemma*
