Book Reviews of A Day at El BulliBook Review: Excellent Foodie Coffee Table Book Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Book Review: A fly on the wall Summary: 5 Stars
I just purchased this book yesterday- thrilled to find a Ferran Adria book under $50 and was up till 2am devouring it- not only does it have quite a few of Ferran's recipe's it also gives one great insight into his psyche and the whole operation at elBulli. The many photo's transport you into the midst of this world famous restaurant witnessing the meticulous preparation of the food and the anticipation and delight of the patrons- it's truly a feast for the eyes and it has made me even more determined to secure a reservation at this temple of gastronomic delights
Book Review: Great Book! You can find it elsewhere cheaper! Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a true culinarian, you must have heard about El Bulli. This book "A Day at El Bulli" is about the day-to day operations of the restaurant.

Book Review: The Book for Foodies Summary: 5 Stars
It's hard to talk about the beauty and creativity of this amazing book. It is simply the definitive book on food and restaurants for anyone who considers themselves a connoisseur of food and wine. El Bulli is the Holy Grail of restaurants. If you can't go to Spain, then this book is a must. It is breathtaking in its creativity and beauty. You will be inspired.
Book Review: A great insight to the creative process Summary: 5 Stars
This is less a cookbook, (although it does contain some recipes), as it is a look into the creative process, and day-to-day operations, of one of the top restaurants in the world. If you are seriously interested in a career in the culinary arts, or just have a curiosity about what goes on behind the scenes with one of the world's best chefs, buy this book.
