World famous chefs Joan Roca and Antoni Luis Aduriz discuss the culinary revolution

Gastronomy.  New York, 14/12/2015

After the screening of the film Snacks: Bocados de una revolución, by directors Verónica Escuer and Cristina Jolonch, world famous chefs Joan Roca, of El Celler de Can Roca (Girona), and Andoni Luis Aduriz, of Mugaritz (Donostia) will talk about their vision of the evolution of Spanish gastronomy to later delve into their research about sensoriality and about seasoning dishes with emotions and creativity. 




A group of Spanish chefs was able to infect the world with their passion to create freely. What was Nouvelle Cuisine for them? What were the aims of the new Basque cuisine? How and why did El Bulli break the old rules of the game and create a new language for cuisine that today is spoken throughout the world? These are some of the key questions in a film that discusses creativity, talent, craft, rivalry, friendship, business, illusion, plagiarism, complicity, future...
