  • By Anthony Bourdain
    REGIONS FOOD & DRINKS POLITICS & CULTURE TRAVEL ABOUT STORE Search PRINT SHARE TWEET EMAIL THE HEROES OF THE NEW BASQUE KITCHEN BY ANTHONY BOURDAIN ’m thinking about pears…” is how I imagine their conversations beginning. Late at night, the phone rings in the home of Juan “I Mari Arzak or Ferran Adrià, and the two friends, two of the greatest and most influential chefs in the world, talk about food, about concepts, ideas they are working on. They call each other for inspiration, to bounce ideas off each other, to imagine how they might next push Spanish cuisine forward, and then forward again. Adrià, of course, was the chef of the world-famous El Bulli in Catalonia, which was said to be the world’s best and most innovative restaurant until it closed in 2011. But Arzak, who runs his family’s eponymous restaurant in San Sebastian, was, in many ways, an even more important pioneer. Arzak grew up on the second floor of the same restaurant he still runs today, the third generation of Arzaks to work in what was then a traditional Basque kitchen. But in the 1970s, heavily influenced by the “nouvelle cuisine” of next-door France, he returned to become a transformative figure of the culinary landscape, helping to create a “nueva cocina vasca” that in turn inspired and influenced future generations of Basque and Spanish chefs. Ferran and Albert Adrià, Martin Berasetgui, Andoni Aduriz: these are just a few of the chefs who looked to Arzak as an example of the new possibilities. His daughter, Elena Arzak, joined her father in the kitchen after training abroad with Alain Ducasse and Pierre Gagniare, and is now considered one of the great chefs in the world in her own right.

  • The MICHELIN Guide Spain & Portugal 2015
    PRESS RELEASE Marbella, November 18, 2014 The MICHELIN guide Spain & Portugal 2015 The robustness of the Iberian Peninsula’s cuisine is reflected in a solid, firmly established base that acts as a springboard for great culinary achievement. Michelin unveiled the 2015 selection of the MICHELIN guide Spain & Portugal, which this year includes 3,158 addresses, of which 1,660 hotels and 1,498 restaurants. The 2015 selection “perfectly highlights the diversity, the renewal and the creativity of Spanish and Portuguese chefs, who have brought their distinct personalities to the kitchen with innovative, original and unique creations” said Michael Ellis, International Director of the MICHELIN guides. “Chefs are constantly looking for clever ways to reinvent themselves, as illustrated by the recent surge in tapas bars that are making quality and excellence more broadly accessible in line with a new gourmet food philosophy”. This year, the eight restaurants that received a 3 stars rating in the 2014 edition (Akelaŕe, Arzak, Azurmendi, DiverXO, El Celler de Can Roca, Martín Berasategui, Quique Dacosta and Sant Pau) have all maintained their high standards to retain the distinction in 2015. This new edition also includes two new 2 stars restaurants: Aponiente in El Puerto de Santa María (Cádiz) and Belcanto in Lisbon. At the helm of Aponiente, Ángel León sets the tone for an imaginative, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, while, at Belcanto, José Avillez skillfully combines tradition with huge doses of creativity in his quest for flavor and excitement. With these newcomers, the MICHELIN guide Spain & Portugal comprises 21 n restaurants. This edition lists 154 1 star restaurants, 21 of which are new.

    Authorship at the fogones: Gastronomy and the Artist in Post-Transition Spain Alison Heather Atkins Brick, New Jersey Bachelor of Arts, Spanish and Mathematics, Wake Forest University, 2005 Master of Arts, Spanish Literature, University of Virginia, 2007 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Spanish, Italian & Portuguese University of Virginia August, 2013 Randolph Pope David T. Gies Gustavo Pellón Herbert Braun ii © Copyright by Alison Heather Atkins All Rights Reserved August 2013 iii Abstract This dissertation analyzes the representation of food in Spanish novels and cookbooks from the 1980s and 90s, a period in which Spanish cuisine gained an unprecedented level of international visibility and prominence. Using both cookbooks and novels published during the period, my project examines the tension between everyday and stylized food practices in order to explore how each text engages with questions of authorship and artistic creation. The first two chapters focus on cookbooks authored by alta cocina chefs as well as by gastronomic critics who have compiled signature recipes by the chefs. I consider how these texts engage with contemporary theories of authorship and creativity, establishing a complex relationship with the modern notion of author as individual, autonomous, and unique, a kind of genius figure. In Chapter 1, I analyze the ways in which the prologue writers and compilers of two cookbooks of the early 1980s, Carlos Delgado’s Cien recetas magistrales (1981) and the 1982 Grandes maestros de la nueva cocina vasca present the featured chefs as unique and autonomous creators as part of a process of establishing culinary art as a legitimate art form.

  • Culinary Art: Feasts for the Eyes
    Culinary Art: Feasts for the Eyes The image of a chef poring over a plate at the pass, fastidiously pimping the presentation of a dish, is, in reality, less than 50 years old. Like most things in today’s gastronomically ambitious restaurant, you can blame it on nouvelle cuisine. A famously influential movement in French cooking, it was championed by the restaurant critics Henri Gault and Christian Millau via the eponymous guide they started publishing in 1965, the former coining the term before defining it in a manifesto in a 1973 article. Leaving aside its widely berated signatures – microscopic portions and pretentiousness the usual charges – it gave traditional haute cuisine a much-needed makeover. The emphasis was on healthier, lighter sauces, and more natural flavors, with creativity encouraged through new recipes, ingredients, and techniques to move beyond the established culinary canon famously codified by Auguste Escoffier. But another, less-noted legacy of nouvelle cuisine was that for the first time in the history of haute cuisine, it was the chefs who plated the food. Before then, the established style of service – service à la française – involved the dish being finished tableside by the chef de rang (the head waiter), who would mix, sauté, carve, or even make a sauce, before plating the food up with a garnish, and presenting it to the guests. I see this restaurant as a canvas and I’m painting it with food André Chiang at Restaurant André, Singapore With chefs of nouvelle cuisine in complete control of their plates, dishes were entirely assembled in the kitchen and increasingly artistic presentation followed.
