This summer, the Somerset House hosts a major retrospective exhibition on a global icon of gastronomy, Ferran Adrià, and his restaurant elBulli, reknowed to be one of the best in the world. Ferran Adrià and The Art of Food is the first exhibition dedicated to a chef and his restaurant. The retrospective showcases the art of cuisine showing behind-the-scenes of the laboratory and kitchen of the Spanish restaurant. The exhibition features research notes and sketches, clay models that were used for all meals as a means of quality control of color, size and position of servings, utensils, menus tasting, cutlery, and we can also drool over the pictures of the creations from the book to be published by Phaidon next year.
