Opis

A lot has happened at El Celler de Can Roca in the last decade: it has twice been voted Best Restaurant in the World, with special awards for hospitality and sweet cuisine; the Roca brothers have been appointed Goodwill Ambassadors for the United Nations; they have travelled around the world showing their project and cooperating with local communities; and they have participated in a Summit on Climate Change... CCR -- the masterpiece of El Celler de Can Roca -- undertakes the restaurant's work as a whole and with a multidisciplinary soul on three axes: Cuisine, Conscience and Reflection.There are 150 CREATIONS that combine the ingredients, techniques and preparations that have made the restaurant's cuisine one of the best in the world. Annotated, developed step by step in great detail and photographed one by one -with some sequences on key assembly and service processes in the dining room -- for a total of 454 PHOTOGRAPHS.The recipes are published in the same order as an excellent tasting menu: Snacks, Starters, Fish, Meat and Desserts. The recipes are listed in an extensive ALPHABETICAL INDEX at the beginning of the book. Joan, Josep and Jordi Roca work to "give back to society what society gives us". The pages of the book also present projects of all kinds set up by the brothers. Among them, the book includes a fold-out catalogue of wild plants from the surroundings of El Celler de Can Roca.CCR also publishes in its 560 PAGES a section in which the Roca brothers reflect, based on texts by the writer Josep María Fona-lleras, on concepts that inspire their actions and creations: Academicism, Chromaticism, Innovation, Freedom, Memory, Landscape, Perfume, Product, Sense of Humour, Tradition and Wine. Concepts that inspire a restaurant that, as Joan Roca says, is "a long-term project. A life, a path".
