ElBulli 1994-1997
This book and it's two sequels give an insight into the mind of a creative genius, Ferran Adria .They are VERY expensive and really mainly of use to the professional chef. Even then, I suspect that one would have to buy Adria's products to get a few recipes (these are very expensive in Australia). Adria describes some of his techniques but really gives no recipes. I think that even a professional chef will have difficulties in producing anything other than the few recipes they will have because one really needs to have
scientific training as well. In the 2004 book, he is using liquid nitrogen to produce spectacular effects but the use of this product requires such
specialised equipment and training that it is beyond the average chef's capabilities and finance .As an aesthetic exercise, all books are masterpieces.One can access some recipes on the internet but some of these suffer from translation errors (Spanish to English). Ph.D Qual.Chef.
