Ferran Adri�; is arguably the greatest culinary revolutionary of our time.

In his lively close-up portrait of Adri�;, 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 world's 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 Adri�; has forever altered our understanding and appreciation of food and cooking.
