The first-ever biography of Ferran AdriA, the chef behind Spains renowned El Bulli restaurant, by one of the worlds foremost food authorities. Ferran AdriA is arguably the greatest culinary revolutionary of our time. Hailed as a genius and a prophet by fellow chefs, worshipped (if often misunderstood) by critics and lay diners alike, AdriA is imitated and paid homage to in professional kitchens, and in more than a few private ones, all over the world. In his lively close-up portrait of AdriA, award-winning food writer Colman Andrews traces this groundbreaking chef s rise from resort- hotel dishwasher to culinary deity, and the evolution of El Bulli from a German-owned beach bar into the establishment voted annually by an international jury to be the worlds best restaurant. With a new afterword for the paperback edition, Ferran brings to life the most exciting food movement of our time and illuminates the ways in which AdriA has forever altered our understanding and appreciation of food and cooking.;Introduction -- Ferran Adri and why he matters -- Gorgonzola mochi and rabbit brains -- Dr. and Mrs. Schillings mini-golf -- A very good boy -- Soldado Fernando -- Jumpin Jack juli -- Disco-beach -- Becoming Ferran -- Two thousand years of El Bulli -- The best cook on the planet -- First, the concept -- Molecular gastronomy and the foam guy -- A new world -- Anti-Ferran, santi-Ferran -- In the kitchen -- Morphing.

Praise for
FERRAN

Ferran Adri, the complicated genius who changed the way the world eats, thinks fast and talks fasterbut in this intimate portrait, Colman Andrews has gotten him to slow down and explain himself. What emerges is a fascinating portrait that everyone who cares about the evolution of food will want to read.

Ruth Reichl, former editor of Gourmet and author of Tender at the Bone

An important book about the most creative, groundbreaking, and important chef of the last decade. Essential biography.

Anthony Bourdain, author of Kitchen Confidential and Medium Raw

Colman Andrews is one of our finest and most knowledgeable food writers, and his Ferran is a superb introduction to the brilliant Catalan chef whose creativity and drive have changed the way cooks worldwide think about their craft.

Harold McGee, author of On FoodandCooking and Keys to Good Cooking

Ferran Adri is a leader and luminary in our industry. His impact has been far-reaching. It is therefore a delight to read his life story in Ferran, and understand how he became what he is today: an inspiration to his peers and colleagues and just as importantly, a mentor to a new generation of young chefs.

Thomas Keller, chef/proprietor, The French Laundry and Per Se

The purest of American food writers paired with the most unconventional chef who ever lived. Delectable. Invaluable.

Alan Richman, food and wine critic for GQ and
Dean of Food Journalism at the French Culinary Institute

Ferran is an intense and intriguing portrait of a man who set forth somewhat like Columbus into the unknown and were still unsure whether he reached land. Ultimately the book Ferran is a wonderful mystery novel.

Jim Harrison, author of The Raw and the Cooked
and The Farmers Daughter

Authors Note

N o chef in history has been interviewed written about and parsed more than - photo 5

N o chef in history has been interviewed, written about, and parsed more than Ferran Adri. Certainly no other chef has so precisely and exhaustivelyobsessively is probably not too strong a wordchronicled his own professional life and the history of his restaurant, issued so many statements of philosophy, and so freely shared his recipes and the details of his techniques. Every dish the man and his team have created for his legendary restaurant, El Bulli, has been photographed and ordered chronologically, the results appearing in five volumes (more than fifty-three pounds worth) of General Catalogue, which run a total of 2,402 pages so far, with more volumes to come. This alone should qualify him for the title of patron saint of professional introspection. A ten-part audiovisual companion to these tomes runs more than eight hours. Another book, A Day at elBulli, offers six hundred pages of photographs, not just of finished food but of the people who produce it, the places where it is made and served, and virtually every imaginable aspect of the restaurant and its operation. Much of the material contained in these books (including the catalogue of dishes), and a lot more, also appears on the excellent, multilingual El Bulli Web site, www.elbulli.com.

What my own book does not include, then, is another roster of Ferrans most famous dishes, or a reproduction of his twenty-three-part Synthesis of elBulli Cuisine, or (with brief exceptions) yet more iterations of his formal statements of culinary philosophy. Instead, Ive tried to sketch out, and fill in, a portrait of Ferran Adri as he hasnt quite been seen before and to retell the oft-told tale of El Bulli from a noncanonical point of view, adding at least some revealing facts that may not already be well-known. Ive also attempted to place Ferran and El Bulli in historical and culinary context, to address the more salient criticisms that have been leveled against him, and to both demystify and exalt the man and his accomplishments. Above all, Ive tried to tell a good story, one that I hope will interest even those readers who, before picking up this volume, had never heard of Ferran.
