To open the mind, not just the mouth.
More than a cookbook, this book is an intimate and daring story about how Mugaritz experiences cooking, using creativity as the most suitable ingredient to inspire, surprise and provoke diners all over the world. For Andoni Luis Aduriz, food is the best pretext to cross borders and explore territories while transforming ideas into edible expressions. With this publication, Mugaritz endeavour on dismantle paradigms, accelerating the present of gastronomy and, above all, projecting ramps into tomorrow, while keeping one same enthusiasm and illusion intact, the one of watching its audience walk on a tightrope without the fear of falling, enjoying outcomes that are as unusual as improbable.
