“Lisa Abend’s new book reads like Harry Potteresque version of a cook’s story and gives readers the chance to enter themselves into the hidden world of cooks. Through Lisa’s book, readers can join these young people on their quest to become a chef witnessing the dreams and aspirations, the frustrations and successes, and all the drama that unfolds along the way.â€� -- Jos Andr s, Chef of Caf Atl ntico and The Bazaar, and star of the PBS show Made in Spain, "Over the course of the last 25 years, Ferran Adri has become both icon and iconoclast, an international bellwether for the future of food. In The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Lisa Abend gives us an illuminating new look at the most influential chef of our time through the kaleidoscopic lens of his thirty-five stagiaires. An accomplished journalist and agile storyteller, Abend immerses herself in the heat, the anxiety, and the ingenuity of this pressurized little world, bringing the charactersand the kitchento life. It's a fascinating glimpse into a culinary rite of passage, and the incomparable genius behind it." --Dan Barber, Executive Chef and Co-owner of Blue Hill Farm, "The author provides countless descriptions of an undeniably dazzling creative process and of foods that, even on paper, have the power to delight and amuse. A gastronomical feast and a rare chance for gourmet enthusiasts to witness the creative process behind some of the world's most innovative cuisine." -- Kirkus, “Part Dali, part Einstein, part modern-day Escoffier--superchef Ferran Adria of elBulli is one of the greatest creative minds of our time. Now Lisa Abend reveals what it's like to actually work in this genius's kitchen. Her formidable reportage, astute cultural observations, and keen eye for detail have produced a fascinating chronicle of the life-changing adventure undertaken by elBulli's lucky band of kitchen apprentices.â€� --Anya von Bremzen, author of The New Spanish Table, " The Sorcerer's Apprentices is a fascinating, well-reported, and dramatic account of life behind the lines at the world's most renowned restaurant, elBulli. Unimpeded by the language barrier that has prevented English-speaking journalists from conveying a full, clear picture of Ferran Adri , Abend gives a sense of what his extraordinary, ground-breaking kitchen is actually like on the inside, from the vantage of the cooks. This is a worthy addition to the literature of the professional kitchen and a pleasure to read." --Michael Ruhlman, author of Ratio and The Making of a Chef, "Lisa Abend's new book reads like Harry Potteresque version of a cook's story and gives readers the chance to enter themselves into the hidden world of cooks.

This is a worthy addition to the literature of the professional kitchen and a pleasure to read."--Michael Ruhlman, author ofRatioandThe Making of a Chef, "No chef, or restaurant, has had a greater impact on modern cooking and eating than Ferran Adria and his elBulli. Until now, though, the inner life of the restaurant seemed as closed and mysterious as Willie Wonka's factory. Now, Lisa Abend opens all the doors, peeks in all the pots, talks to all the oompah-loompahs, and generally gives us a unique, insider's vision of an amazing place; in the history of writing about restaurants, there have been few books displaying more sensitivity, insight, sympathy, and wisdom about the strange life--half-pure art, half pure-lackey--of the modern cook." --Adam Gopnik, author of Paris to the Moon, " The Sorcerer's Apprentices is a fascinating, well-reported, and dramatic account of life behind the lines at the world's most renowned restaurant, elBulli. Unimpeded by the language barrier that has prevented English-speaking journalists from conveying a full, clear picture of Ferran Adrià, Abend gives a sense of what his extraordinary, ground-breaking kitchen is actually like on the inside, from the vantage of the cooks.
