hate simple luxury
I'm not a materialist, I don't care for things. I don't like cars, I hate things that can be exploited. I live a simple life. The only luxuries I have in my life are travel and food.
chocolate littles treats
There's a little treat I like a lot called Bollycao. It's like a brioche with chocolate inside, but industrial.
simple squares needs
I am not a multimillionaire. I dont own a yacht or a Ferrari. I live in a 60-square- metre flat. My needs are simple.
cooking vanguard polemics
You can't please everyone, especially if you're doing very radical things at the vanguard of cooking. That's life; it's a polemic I've lived with since I started cooking.
worry cant-change i-can
I don't worry about the things I can't change.
cooking kitchen use
I use the kitchen as a pathway to achieve this happiness.
needs tomatoes knows
You need an entire life just to know about tomatoes.
cooking limits ifs
If you go off the edge, it's not cooking anymore, so you have to push it to the limit.... What are the limits?
should-have moments eating
What you feel like eating at any given moment is what you should have.
games people pieces
El Bulli was created by 2,000 people that passed through it. And we didn't know that something big was happening. It was like a game in a way. You didn't really know how it was going to end up, and people who would leave, they would take a piece of it with them, but they would leave another piece behind.
cooking cuisine
There is not a good or a bad cuisine, just the one you like the best.
art mean thinking
We need to think about what cooking is, what context it takes place in and what its relationship to the world of art is. If there were criticisms of my presence at Documenta, that's a good thing because it means we were doing something new. Your mission in creating something artistic is to produce something new and polemical.
cant activity sedentary
I cant live without activity; I cant be sedentary.
appreciate kitchen five-senses
Our kitchen is a kitchen that makes food designed to be tasted with the five senses and it requires concentration to appreciate all that we want to express.
