For the first time, A Day at elBulli An Insight into the Ideas, Methods and Creativity of Ferran Adria allows unprecedented access to one of the world's most famous, sought-after and mysterious restaurants. Having held three Michelin stars since 1997, and regularly voted 'Best Restaurant in the World' by a panel of 500 industry professionals, elBulli has been at the very forefront of the restaurant scene since Ferran Adria became sole head chef in 1987.

Aimed at food enthusiasts as well as industry professionals, the book documents all the activities and processes that make up just one day of service with stunning colour photography of the kitchens, staff, creative workshop, dishes, the restaurant itself and its striking surroundings near the town of Roses, north east of Barcelona. The book starts with daybreak at 6.15 am, then shows visits to the local markets to source ingredients from 7.00 am, Ferran's arrival at the workshop, his morning creative experimentation session, the arrival of the rest of the brigade at 2.3 0 pm to begin the mise-en-place for the evening, the preparations of each guest's menu, the daily tasks of the front of house team, and the arrival of the first guests for dinner from 7.45 pm until the last guests' departure by 2.00 am.

The menu is fully explained with detailed and technical recipes that reveal the full extent of the chefs' artistry. Innovative text inserts open the lid on the history of elBulli and Ferran Adria, the creative methods, the secret workshops, the technical processes behind the creation of a dish, the network of sensations and interactions that take place between a restaurant and its guests and the sensory experiences of eating, as well as the formidable reservations procedure and the structure of a meal into four theatrical 'acts'.

A Day at elBulli An Insight into the Ideas, Methods and Creativity of Ferran Adria allows all lovers of good food to experience this spectacular restaurant to the full.

A Day at elBulli Ferran Adrià Albert Adrià Juli Soler Books Reviews

• A book about a restaurant, but not about food.
  
  Rather it is an examination of the unique philosophies and processes (not to mention sheer will and effort) that goes into creating one of the most creative places on earth.
  
  For anyone who makes their living with creativity, ideas or innovation, be warned. Reading this is as humbling an experience as it is inspiring.
  
  On one level, all the elements and themes explored are familiar to any book about ideas - curiosity, diversity, insight, experimentation, craft, debate and interrogation.
  
  And yet they are taken to such extreme levels of commitment - like 4000 hours of creative development for just 160 meal services a year; or how every single ingredient is taken through a battery of heat, texture, portion, distillation and combination tests merely to discover a hidden property of a food. It is nothing short of a question-everything approach that permeates El Bulli's unique methods, processes and business.
  
  What I also love about this book is how instructive it is in terms of methods and techniques of creative ideation and refinement. In between the fly-on-the-wall pieces and interviews and stories, there are also little process pamphlets that reveal how Ferran Adria and his team actually go about discovering and developing and designing.
  
  All in all, hands down THE best 33 bucks i've spent on .
  
  Completely and utterly humbling.
• Incredible, aspiring, amazing... A monument to the great Adria. Will try some of the recipes as soon as I get the right tools and ingredients.
  A note there are more pictures of Adria, the team and the restaurant, than recipes, I am just warning you in case you think this is a cookbook...
• This book remind the old day of dreaming. It’s a heavy book with the weight 7 pound. It’s worth to have if you are a fan of cooking and creative. Many beautiful pictures insides. You can put it on the shelf for showing. Recommend!!!
• I've always wanted to go to El Bulli before it closed, but their reservations were always booked up months in advance. Now that it's closed I'll never get to see it, but checking out this book is a good way to look at the inner workings of what was a tremendously interesting institution. Excellent read.
• In brief - This is a a near perfect coffee table book for foodies. The exhaustive detail of every nook and cranny of the restaurant and how it runs is beautifully presented. If you are really into food, or want to know how a world renowned chef operates his establishment in incredibly visual detail, then this book is a great investment.
  I've already given away a copy as a gift, and the cost is not that significant for such a large volume.
  Cons - No this is not a really useful cookbook. If that's what you're expecting I would look elsewhere.
  The quality of the pages themselves could be better, but I'm figuring this is why they're able to sell it so cheaply considering it's size.
• thank you
• wow
• My wife is a big cook and adores this book! Classic recipes and techniques. She says it's a classic and most any foodie at home would benefit from it's wisdom.
