LANG INNOVATION TALK: 
Meet Culinary Pioneer Ferran Adrià: Chef, Author and Founder of the elBullifoundation

WHAT:  Ferran Adrià presents Coffee Sapiens – Innovation through Understanding, a well-timed event on all things coffee (before the International Coffee Day, Sept. 29).

WHO:  Ferran Adrià joined the staff of elBulli in 1984 and became a foremost innovative culinary pioneer for introducing molecular gastronomy to the world of fine cuisine. elBulli won three Michelin stars, along with many other accolades, and is now being transformed into a food laboratory and a museum that’s open to the public, the long-awaited El Bulli 1846 (named for the 1,846 different dishes that were created throughout El Bulli’s history). Adrià’s new mission to study and catalogue the entire body of world culinary knowledge has brought him to New York, with his publication of Coffee Sapiens (Phaidon), a multimedia project created by Lavazza and the elBullifoundation, with the aim of promoting experimentation and innovation in the gastronomic field. This opera omnia on coffee is one of the first pillars of what will be the most complete database of the Occidental fine dining restaurant industry, Bullipedia.
