A number of the world’s greatest architects have also left their permanent mark on the city.

    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.

  • 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.
