El Bulli 1998-2002

By Ferran Adria, Juli Soler, Albert Adria Photos: Francesc Guillamet Text: Josep Maria Pinto Design: Roberta Sucupira and Marta Mendez CD-Rom by Antoni Pareja and Jordi Berenguer Technical Coordination by Daniel Bardaji (RBA-Spain)

For the first time the creative process of a Chef is explained. The influences, the inspiration, the processes show the genius and magic of Ferran Adria and his team. The presentation is unique, corresponding well to the style of El Bulli, with a magnificent art book, with sumptuous photos, and a practical CD-Rom, to be used in the kitchen.

This book published in November 2002 is in a category of its own and did not compete with the others. The reader touches the reality of a genius.
