Colman Andrews Livres

Reinventing Food charts Ferran Adrià’s transition from comparative obscurity to becoming the focus of massive media attention – he has been admired, talked about, criticized more than any other chef alive today. Colman Andrews has spent over a decade in conversation with Ferran, as well as countless hours in his restaurant and workshop, and his account recasts Ferran’s remarkable career with unrestricted access to the chef and his family and friends, as well as decades of accumulated insights and interviews with the most prominent chefs and critics.
