Star chef prepares ‘cooking laboratory’

SPANISH star chef Ferran Adria unveiled plans on Tuesday to open a “cooking laboratory,” museum and database of top recipes at his world-beating restaurant elBulli.

Adria, whose eatery was crowned best in the world five times by Britain’s Restaurant magazine before it closed in 2011, gave a preview of the “elBulli Foundation,” which he said will open next year.

For over two decades the Catalan chef, now 51, pushed the boundaries of cuisine, using high-tech methods to take apart and rebuild foods in surprising ways.

He served the last meal there in July 2011 and announced his plan to convert it into a training and research center, so he could concentrate on culinary innovation.

The laboratory will host “40 people from around the world, from cooks to designers to architects,” Adria said.
