The recipe that Flavors of Brasil gave is not for Carne Seca. It is the "domestic" recipe for Carne de Sol. Carne Seca is diferent from Carne de Sol. Carne de sol has just a litle salt, Carne seca is more like a Salted Cod Fish. I don´t know where you live Loki, but to make the real carne seca you will need a dry weather with low humidity (like a desert). I recomend that you try this recipe. Take 1 kg meat ( you choose ) and 1 kg salt. Cover the meat with the salt and leave in your refrigerator for about 8 days. Always put off the water that come out from the meat. Bye!

Hi guys, where can i find progressive cuisine or molecular, stores in Paris ??? I am in Barcelona now, but unfortunately i can't find anything. I am particulary loookink for a smoke pistol. Thanksss

Thanks Man! The mayor problem is that i really want to try a more "molecular" cuisine. Sauc apears to be more traditional... What you think ?

Really Thanks Dalej I will realy try this place!!! I will also go to florence and Veneza, do you know where can i eat trufles from alba ? Best Regards

Casa Cruz was the best restaurant in BAs for me ! Excelent meal and wines! I have the photos from my diner there... This was a Pumpkin Sorbet with tangerine syrup! Octopus with Passion fruit pure and bacon crisps... Superbeb! This was a shrimp in cocunut cream, with lemongrass oil and a light pasta that i can`t recorded... Oh this was so good! It is a foie gras terrine, with mustard , apples and honey ! I can´t remember this dishes below The last one was a Scallops with chorizo, cauliflower and pear pure and crisp garlic

Alexandra i ate just once in Eñe São Paulo (july 2006) and it was very very good. The chef stills to be "Japa" ? In Eñe Rio i ate more than 5 times and it is always perfect. The service is bad i have to adimt, but this is a major problem in Rio de Janeiro. Roberta i ate 3 times; One it was ok, the second superb and the third very good.

Really Thanks! I have already saw DiverXO ! I think i will go to Alkimia... Best Regards!

I went to Zaza and was horrible, don´t go there! There is a new restaurant in Rio, Eñe. It is spanish cuisine and it is very very good! Roberta SudBrack and Eñe for me are the best in town!

Thanks roosterchef21 ! I think i will enjoy a lot L`Arpege! Food Snoob... The cheaper glass wine costs 25 euros ? I will just drink a glass hahahaha!

Pork Belly do you know others good restaurants with the same price as Alkimia in Madrid ? Can Roca is very expensive for me Thanks !!!

Hey Guys! I made a sucessful reservation at L´Arpege(lunch) and Astrance(dinner) !! I was reading that the wine list from L`Arpege is overpriced. How much a regular Champagne Botle costs there ? And the wine glass ?

Its sad, but unfortunately i will cant go to Terrazas. The menu costs 130 euros per person, since we are four it will be very expensive. So, i was thinking in Alkimia ? What do you guys think ? Really Thanks!

Thanks Food Snob, i will make a reservation there!

Thanks KD ! Since there is no diference between lunch/dinner i will call tomorow to L Astrance to try a diner reservation there... But for lunch i am now in doubt between Alain Passard an Pierre G. I really apreciate the syle from Alain...taking a ingredient to it´s best. Pierre´s foods seesms to be a litle complicated, with a lot os elements... And i am reading a lot o bad reviews from it... What do you guys think ??

I am a bit confused know, because i have read in Astrance topic that in the lunch i can just eat the 3 dishes menu (Menu Dejeunerr) Is this right ? And the prices for lunch/dinner are the same ? Because if they are i prefer going on Gagnaire to lunch and dining in Pascal... I try to find the restaurant's e-mail but i had no success... Thanks!

I have read in the internet a lot of good and bad comments about Pierre G. What is the consistent of the food they serve there ? Because going in to a 3 Stars in a Bad day is like a tragedy...! L'Astrance win points serving the same food at dinner/lunch... so i don´t know what to do!

Really Thanks for the replys guys! I am between L´Anstrance and Pierre Gagnaire... I am tending go to Pierre, because i have already eaten Pascal food... He made a dinner here im Rio de Janiero in Claude Troigros Restaurant... It was perfect! KD1191, i ate the Raw Foie marinated in Lemon and the LemonGrass/Pepper sorbet! julot-les-pinceaux, i will lunch on friday... Is a good day ? l'Ambroisie seems to be a wonderfull place, but i read that they do not have a degustation menu... Can you guys give me more information about Pierre ?

Hi guys, i will be in Paris between 17/01--27/01. I can just go in one 3 stars...To lunch! But i don´t know which one to choose...! I was Thinking in Astrance (Pascal Barbot), Pierre Gagnaire, Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée, Guy Savoy... Do you guys have any indication for me ?? Really Thanks !!!

Carlos, it is very close in style. La Alqueria serves El Bulli's greatest hits, with menu's put together from selections of dishes from previous years El Bulli menus. It is the El Bulli hotel, owned by Ferran Adria, and usually staffed by chefs who have worked in the kitchens at El Bulli. It is rumoured that Ferran is often found in the kitchens when El Bulli itself is closed. However, as the OP said it is a long way in distance from Barcelona or Madrid, although Seville is great in its own right. It is also closed from November '09 until March '10. Carlos unfortunly i will stay in Spain between 05/01--10/01 so La Alqueria will be closed! Very Sad. I have already send to Terrazas an e-mail... Lets Wait... Do you guys know other restaurants with "Progressive cuisine" in Madrid/Barcelona ?? I prefer the ones not so expensive! Because we are 4 people... 30-70 euros per person is a good range... Thanks!!!

Hello Guys! Really Thanks for your Replys "Ronaldo, I would go to La Alqueria in Hacienda Benazuza. It's located in Salúcar la Mayor, near Sevilla, I'm not sure how near is from El Bulli, as I've never been there, but they are supposed to use Adria's recipes and techniques." Carlos, the problem is that i will can´t go out to near places from Madrid/Barcelona... But Thanks for your Tip ! Hi Adam! I will now just use "Progressive Cuisine" ! Wow, you are the head Chef from the Lab ? Really Nice !! Do you now if we need to dress tie to go dinner in Terrazas ? The price of Degusation Menu is Still around 80 euros ? I will also go with my brother and sister and they aged 17, is this a problem ? I will just see the exact day i will be arriving in Madrid to send a e-mail ! Really Thanks for your Help and assistance !!

Hi Guys! I will arrive in Barcelona and Madrid some day in January/2010! I don´t know how you guys in Spain call "Molecular Gastronomy"...in Brazil we speak like that. Whatever, i really want to try some "El Bulli" food...Since El Bulli will be closed in the winter ( and a reservation there is almost impossible ), where can we eat the same style off food they serve in El Bulli ? I was looking for Terraza del Casino... There is other good places to go ? What is you recommendation ? Really Thanks!
