"Siempre que se analiza un plato, un estilo, nos fijamos en la composición, en las técnicas, incluso en el acierto en la combinación de productos. Pero pocas veces se piensa en que cada producto que uno está comiendo posee una historia detrás. Y esto es lo que ha hecho Hannah, retratar la trastienda de cada uno de estos ingredientes, tirar del hilo hasta el origen de una serie de productos emblemáticos, cada uno de los cuales implica un territorio, unas personas que lo trabajan desde hace tiempo, a menudo siguiendo unas técnicas y unos procedimientos ancestrales".
Ferran Adriá, 2011
Ferran Adrià has been recognised as the most innovative chef of modern times.
His restaurant, elBulli, was long regarded as the finest in the world. The culinary transformations from raw produce to spectacular dish were the result of a mysterious, almost alchemical process.
Hannah who has known Ferran for a number of years and has been granted unprecedented access to the working of his kitchen, embarked on a mission to trace the routes of thirty or more products from their place or origin to the table. The resulting pictures and writings create a document of global connections, geographical diversity, historical precedents and sublime aesthetic refinement. Ferran has described this book as a great contribution to the dialogue between high cooking and art.
