An in-depth exploration of the birth of cooking, as charted by leading authority Ferran Adrià's elBullifoundation
This essential volume examines the foundations of cuisine, starting with its earliest sources. Tracing every element of the produce, implements, and skills involved in food preparation, it asks such timely questions as: is the choice of raw food an act of cooking, or does cooking begin when specific tools are used to adapt it? Can food be considered 'cooked' when eaten in its raw state? Packed with intriguing text and illuminating elBullifoundation diagrams and images, it's a must-have for every cook's library.
About The Author
Ferran Adrià joined the staff of elBulli restaurant in 1984 and rapidly progressed to head chef with three Michelin stars and other accolades. Famous for his pioneering culinary techniques, he has been applauded - and imitated - around the world. Since elBulli's closure in 2011, Ferran Adrià has been lecturing around the world and developing the elBullifoundation, a culinary academy and think tank, on the site of the former elBulli, outside Barcelona.
