Book Reviews of A Day at El Bulli
Book Review: A day at el bulli
Summary: 5 Stars
The product came in a perfect condition and really quickly. The book is fantastic: a day in the life of one of the chefs in the world. It starts with some inspirig photographs and then it talks about the whole process of Adrià way of cooking. The story of his restaurant s really amazing.Book Review: A beautiful tour - NOT a cook book
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book, as a young apprentice (potentially entering the arena of fine chefs such as Adria) this book provides an overview of the lifestyle, the work, the process and most importantly the food. It is a superbly beautiful book, very large and heavy, perfect for a coffee table.Book Review: Pretty cool
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a huge, thick book. Lots of photos and discussions describing the day at El Bulli. Amazing photos, some recipes. All in all a fun book to look at.Book Review: great gift
Summary: 5 Stars
purchased the book as a gift for my son who is a chef he was very excited when he unwrapped the gift he tells me the book is excellent
Book Review: This is a difficult one
Summary: 4 Stars
The book has close to 600 pages at 30 something $ from a world renowned 3 star chef. I will update this review in over the next few weeks why it all settles in.
It is not really a cookbook. Compared to the Alinea book this feels more like a coffee table book, it does have recipes though and it definitely shows how they do things.
For me at first quick view it seems they tried putting a movie into a book. While I can see that some people are turned off by this, for me it works.
The only complaint I have is, it sems when the book hit interesting spots, they changed the paper to a much thinner/cheaper type. Not sure why.
So that all said, I have already the Alinea book which I like, even though I don't think I ever will coook an entire menu. I also have Heston's Fat Duck book right now in transit from the UK which is 3 or 4 times the price of this one.
So once I get that, I will update here. If you are interested in the El Bulli experience, this is a nice book and a good prep for the trip.. If you are looking to learn from Ferran how too cook, this is not it.
