A Day at El Bulli: An Insight into the Ideas, Methods and Creativity of Ferran Adria is a behind-the-scenes guide to the work behind the multi award-winning restaurant, El Bulli, and a look at the creative process helmed by its legendary head chef, Fernando Adrià Acosta.

Often hailed as the Salvador Dali of the kitchen, Adria’s culinary techniques have been applauded - and imitated - by top chefs around the globe. With stunning photography, the book documents the processs that takes place from the opening to the closing of the restaurant.

Starting with daybreak at 6.15 am, the book offers a peek into Ferran’s morning creative experimentation session, and the flurry of activities that ensue until the last guests’ departure.

The menu is fully explained with technical recipes that reveal the full extent of the chefs' artistry. Innovative diagrams spill the information on the technical processes behind the menu creation, the network of sensations and interactions taking place between a restaurant and its guests, as well as the formidable reservations procedure and the rigorous display serving of a meal in four theatrical 'acts'.
