Download Ferran: The Inside Story of El Bulli and the Man Who Reinvented Food AudioBook Free

More than just the most important chef of the past due- 20th and early 21st generations, Ferran Adrià is arguably the greatest culinary revolutionary of your time. Hailed as a genius and a prophet by fellow chefs, worshipped (if often misunderstood) by critics and lay diners alike, Adrià is imitated and paid homage to in professional kitchens, and in lots of private ones, all around the globe. A reservation at his restaurant, El Bulli, is so coveted that rating a desk is harder than nabbing 50-yard-line seat tickets for the Super Dish. In his exciting, unprecedented close-up family portrait of Adrià, award-winning food copy writer Colman Andrews traces this groundbreaking chef's go up from holiday resort hotel dishwasher to culinary deity, and the development of El Bulli from a German-owned beach bar in to the establishment voted on a yearly basis by a global jury to be "the world's best restaurant". Taking the listener from Adrià's Franco-era childhood near Barcelona through El Bulli's wildly creative "disco-beach" days and nights and in to the modern-day wonderland of Adrià's restaurant kitchen and the workshop/laboratory where his innovations are blessed and sophisticated, Andrews blends sweeping storytelling with culinary background to explore Adrià's outstanding contributions to just how we eat. Through original techniques like deconstruction, spherification, and the creation of culinary foams and airs, Adrià has profoundly reimagined the basic characteristics of food's forms, while celebrating and intensifying the natural flavours of his recycleables. Yet, argues Andrews, these innovations might not be his most impressive achievements. Instead, Adrià's sheer creativeness and courageous thoughts are his true genius-a genius that transcends the chef's métier and can inspire and enlighten most of us.
