An
enormous undertaking, this monumental tome, complete with more than
1,000 photographs, chronicles one day at revolutionary eatery elBulli
in northern Spain, arguably one of today's most influential
restaurants. Adria, the culinary genius behind this success, along with
restaurant manager Soler and brother and fellow chef Albert give the
reader a firsthand look at day-to-day activities and the innovation for
which elBulli is known. Lavish photographs are the main attraction in
this work; text is sparse and offers only glimpses into activities.
While there is an examination of the team's creative methods, most
topics are only touched upon briefly, such as creative sessions,
testing and utilizing a mental palate. Given the highly technical
nature of the dishes served at elBulli, recipes (Pine Nut Marshmallows;
Steamed Brioche with Rose-scented Mozzarella) are rare. A glance behind
the scenes at a pivotal time and place in culinary evolution, this book
will delight serious foodies, and its stunning package guarantees it
will grace many a coffee table. (Oct.) --Publishers Weekly
Product Description
''Ferran stands head

Adria is one of the most generous creative geniuses the world has ever

A Day at elBulli: An Insight into the Ideas, Methods and Creativity of Ferran Adria
Situated on
a remote beach on the northeast coast of Spain, elBulli is famous for
being the ultimate pilgrimage site for foodies, and a reservation that
is nearly impossible to obtain. Each year elBulli is open for just six
months, and receives more than 2 million requests for only 8,000 seats.
Renowned for his spectacular ever-changing 30-course tasting menu,
Adria's pioneering culinary techniques have been applauded - and
imitated - by top chefs around the globe for the past decade, and he
was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people of our
time.
If you weren't one of the lucky few to get in this year
(2008 reservations were booked a year in advance), you can now
experience the restaurant like never before. This
generously-illustrated 600-page ''day in the life'' features over 800
photographs, menus, recipes and diagrams, and presents a guided tour
through a full working day at elBulli.
The book highlights 30
dishes which represent a full elBulli menu, and Adria shows you how he
creates the restaurant's innovative cuisines. Sample recipes include Samphire Tempura with Saffron and Oyster Cream, Steamed Brioche with Rose-Scented Mozzarella, and Coulant/Souffle of Granadilla with Cardamom Toffee.
In
April 2008, elBulli won the #1 Best Restaurant in the World, for the
third year in a row at the S. Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurant
Awards.
reveals for the first time the creative process, innovative philosophy
and extraordinary techniques of the multi-award-winning restaurant,
elBulli, and its legendary head chef, Ferran Adria.
