Synopses & Reviews
Review:
"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. Adri, 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."

Synopsis:
Situated on a remote beach in Spain, elBulli is a restaurant famous for being the ultimate pilgrimage site for foodies, a place where it's nearly impossible to obtain a reservation--open just six months a year, it receives more than 2 million requests for reservations. For the first time, the renowned restaurant and its remarkable chef--and his menus--are showcased in a stunning book.
