Ferran Adrià

Adrià’s name is inextricably tied to his iconic restaurante El Bulli, where he broke down traditional barriers and pioneered new frontiers in culinary creativity and innovation. While preserving the essence of classic dishes, this Catalan chef transformed ingredients, textures, shape, temperatures and aesthetics. He invented numerous culinary techniques (spherification, edibble foam, etc.) and equipment, revolutionizing the gastronomic experience. Due to his exceptional prestige, Adrià was the first chef to exhibit his work at documenta (Kassel, Germany), one of the world’s most influential contemporary art shows. Adrià’s most recent adventure has been elBullifoundation, a vast research and dissemination iniciative focusing on creativity in gastronomy.
