Book Reviews of Decoding Ferran Adria: Hosted by Anthony Bourdain

Book Review: proceed with caution
Summary: 5 Stars

o.k. so i admit it, i liked kitchen confidential, although it did not go far enough, but have never been a big fan of Bourdain the man. his perpetual flogging of his own misunderstod artist,bohemian image is no less than self indulgence over served, but he does speak his mind and in this video he finally manages to bridge the gap between his usual oral condensension and the magic he creates on the page. of course it helps that Adria and his work are both engaging to the point of obsession . anyone watching this video and not having an epiphany needs to watch it again and again until they do. it does and will change you forever.

Summary of Decoding Ferran Adria: Hosted by Anthony Bourdain

New York City chef/author Anthony Bourdain is invited to film the research laboratory of Ferran Adria, the most controversial and imitated chef in the world-chef/owner of El Bulli, voted "World's Best" by Restaurant Magazine and the most visited by chefs on sabbatical. The lab, an ultra modern, Dr. No-like facility with sliding walls, backlit ingredients, latest equipment and a full staff of devotees is tucked away inside a vast, renaissance-era palace in the old section of Barcelona, Spain. Adria and his chefs close the El Bulli restaurant for six months out of ever year to work on new concepts. Bourdain tracks Ferran's process from lab to a once-in-a-lifetime meal at El Bulli restaurant, enjoying a high-concept, surrealist, haute cuisine meal of unparalleled creativity and striking visual appearance.
