Food for Thought, Thought for Food

Ferran Adrià has revolutionized the world of gastronomy. His restaurant elBulli, is recognized as the world's best restaurant. So original and poetically sensible is his approach to cooking that he is considered to be the greatest "artist of the kitchen." Food for Thought examines the essence of elBulli's creativity with photos of Adrià's creations, discussions, texts, and round tables between artists, chefs, critics, gallerists, and curators, representing the most potent personalities of the art and gastronomic worlds. Edited by Vicente Todoli, director of the Tate Modern (London) and by Richard Hamilton, contemporary pop-art legend, this volume explores Adrià's participation in Documenta 12 and the debates this has stimulated between gastronomic creativity and artistic creation.
