Plastic Fantastic - Alchemist
This impression is inspired by the large garbage patches, found in our oceans. The patches occur in
the stable centers of the ocean currents, where a natural vortex collects the garbage. While it might conjure up an image of an island of trash, these patches look more like a cloudy soup, where microplastics are mixed in with larger items. Technique: This is a further development of elBullis work with oblato, combining it with fish collagen and algae to recreate the feeling of plastic in the “ vortex” covering the Danish plaice fried in a dough made of fish collagen and flour topped with pickles and freeze-dried apple vinegar

ALCHEMIST X EL BULLI X ENIGMA
My words certainly won’t do justice to the experience we had at @restaurantalchemist a few days ago when they hosted a truly once in a lifetime collaboration with Ferran and Albert Adria representing @elbullifoundation_ferranadria and @enigma_albertadria . Original El Bulli dishes, carefully selected from their legacy of 1846 dishes, were served alongside many dishes from Enigma and Alchemist that are a direct result and evolution from Ferran’s work all those years ago. It was really something to see these dishes using techniques that we all now take for granted, and realise just how cutting edge they were at the time and how incredibly influential they have been on chefs today, many without even realising it. The only chef and restaurant that could have pulled off such an event was the new barer of this culinary torch, Alchemist and @rasmusmunkalchemist . With El Bulli being the fire that lit Rasmus’s ambition to become one of the true greats and one of a very rare few to be truly pushing the culinary boundaries, and in ways that will hopefully help the planet in countless ways going forward.

Alchemist: “It is a great responsibility to even try to convey the legacy of elBulli, a restaurant so monumental and revolutionary that it changed the world of gastronomy forever. We are so touched that we were entrusted with the task.”
