Morphology

gastronomic = gastronomy (transparent) = gastronomy + ic

Formed from the noun 'gastronomy' plus the adjective-forming suffix '-ic' meaning 'relating to', so the adjectival meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Gastronomic comes from the Greek root gaster meaning 'stomach', and you can see the same idea in the English words stomach and gastric. So, gastronomic now means things to do with cooking and enjoying good food because it originally meant 'relating to the stomach'.
