Spice Wheel - elBulli1846
elBulli dish no. 367 from 1996.
When this impression was first served in 1996 at elBulli, it broke all the rules for what you could do in a restaurant. As a playful discovery, the guest was handed a list of spices to try and match with each teatured on the plate, getting in close contact with the
consciousness around the tastebuds.
Technique: Granny Smith green apple gelatin with the spices in clockwise order: 1 nutmeg, 2 curry, 3 saffron, 4 cardamoms, 5 Sichuan pepper, 6 vanilla seeds, 7 confit ginger, 8 cinnamon, 9 rose pepper, 10 star anise, 11 juniper & 12 mint

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.”
