Food as art Article 2

Food as art Article 2

This time I am going to talk about one article which name is “Postcard: Spain” and it talks about one couple that love art so they go to spain to visit one the creators of the art that they like and they realize that the artist is actually a cooker who has been recently named as artist of the year in one magazine called Documenta. And this artist is the main cooker of one restaurant: “El Bulli”. Also in the article they describe how this cooker does his plates and works of art.
I think that this article is really related to our discussion. First of all the article says that the one cooker was named artist of the year for one magazine, this is very impressing and a good argument to state, once again, that food can be art in many ways. The way that this guy, Ferran Adria, cooks is comparable to the work of an artist that does paintings or sculptures. He has in his restaurant an amazing number of different plates and meals and each of this ones have a different taste and a different look.
If somebody wants to go to this restaurant of the artist-cooker is the northeast of Spain and it could be around “$500 for dinner”, a little bit expensive, in my opinion, but maybe it is worth it!
