Ferran Adria, considéré comme l'un des plus grands cuisiniers du monde, est le chef de "El Bulli", le restaurant de luxe trois étoiles situé à Roses, en Catalogne. Chaque année, lui et son équipe de cuisiniers-chercheurs travaillent à l'élaboration d'une nouvelle carte.

Il film documentario "El Bulli- Cooking in progress" è frutto di quindici mesi di lavoro di una troupe tedesca tra i fuochi e i tavoli del mitico ristorante di Ferran Adrià, da molti considerato il miglior ristorante del mondo per la cucina sperimentale.

Three-star chef Ferran Adrià is widely considered the best, most innovative and craziest chef in the world. In his kitchen, that which was once familiar disintegrates. Each year his restaurant El Bulli closes for half a year – time for Adrià and his team to retire to his Barcelona cooking laboratory to create the new menu for the coming season. Anything goes – except copying oneself.
