Ferran Adrià

Ferran Adrià gehört das Restaurant "El Bulli" an der spanischen Costa Brava - laut dem englischen Fachblatt "Restaurant Magazine" das "beste Restaurant der Welt".
Nach Engagements in verschiedenen Restaurants in Spanien kochte er zunächst so, wie er es in seiner Ausbildung gelernt hatte. Dann versuchte er, eine neue spanische Küche zu entwickeln. Erst im Jahr 1993 beschloss er, zukünftig alles anders zu machen - und jede Zutat dieser Welt mit jeder anderen zu kombinieren.
