Book Reviews of Decoding Ferran Adria: Hosted by Anthony Bourdain

Book Review: From the prospective of a skeptic (Anthony Bourdain)...
Summary: 4 Stars

The video is presented Anythony Bourdain; someone who knows traditional french cooking, and hates frills, fluff, and unpalatable food as he once referred Ferran Adria negatively as the "foam dude" in his book Kitchen Confidential. His views and perceptions are changed as he observes and decodes Ferran's thought processes, experimentation, and menu developement. Great buy for a foodie in the family or friend. A little expensive for what it is, but fun to watch.

Summary of Decoding Ferran Adria: Hosted by Anthony Bourdain

New York City chef/author Anthony Bourdain is invited to film the research laboratory of Ferran Adria, the most controversial and imitated chef in the world-chef/owner of El Bulli, voted "World's Best" by Restaurant Magazine and the most visited by chefs on sabbatical. The lab, an ultra modern, Dr. No-like facility with sliding walls, backlit ingredients, latest equipment and a full staff of devotees is tucked away inside a vast, renaissance-era palace in the old section of Barcelona, Spain. Adria and his chefs close the El Bulli restaurant for six months out of ever year to work on new concepts. Bourdain tracks Ferran's process from lab to a once-in-a-lifetime meal at El Bulli restaurant, enjoying a high-concept, surrealist, haute cuisine meal of unparalleled creativity and striking visual appearance.
