1. The Sorcerer's Apprentices
A Season in the Kitchen at Ferran Adrià's elBulli
An immersive behind-the-scenes narrative of a season inside Ferran Adrià’s famed elBulli, seen through the eyes of its unpaid stagiaires. It traces their grueling routines, meticulous techniques, and relentless pursuit of perfection as they help translate boundary-pushing ideas into dishes, revealing the choreography, hierarchy, and creative tensions that drive avant-garde cuisine. Along the way, it explores ambition, sacrifice, and the complicated economics of prestige in the world’s most celebrated kitchen.
