Hello everyone, does anyone have any information on where to purchase the El Bulli cookbook other than the el Bulli website? I've looked around online and found nothing, but I really would to add this book to my collection.

Thanks

My wife works for Wiley Publishing. Wiley will be the publishing firm that will produce El Bulli's cookbook/cd rom combo for the american market. She expects it to be ready in english in approximately 12 to 14 months and will cost about $225.00. Save up your money because that cost is expected to rise. Until then, you will have to enjoy it in spanish. Sorry.

Cook's Library...(323) 655-3141.  I just called and they have Spanish only.  I asked to be put on the list for the english and he remarked that there are no plans to publish it in english  :hmmm:

Misinformed?

Yes, Wiley is working hard to get the book completed. The biggest problem for Wiley is to put together a book of such high cost and to find the correct market to sell it to. At $225.00, there isnt much of a market out there.

Is this it?...I can't tell if it's the english or spanish version.

I think this may have already been spotted and mentioned in another thread -- "Ferran (sic) Adria."

That's strange because the folks at the restaurant told me in April that the English edition would be available this month. I will ask again next week when I am in Barcelona, but it sounds like the above information is correct.

Why so high? The UK version is £75, which is about $125 US.

Suspect the amazon one might be mispriced. they sometimes do this for pre-order items where price isn't certain - a reason to order now methinks (you can always cancel later)

in fact, thats what I think I'll do now...

I'm not in front of the book right now but El Bulli 1998-2002 is the third book in a series spanning the restaurant's and Adria's recipe developement. The books are pubished in reverse chronological order. I was refering to the second of the series which is now published in Spanish with the English version to be published end of this year or early 2005.

I rec'd the 98-02 - Looks like I'd better order my second edition today.

If Spanish editions don't pose a problen you may want to look into

Celebrar el milenio con Arzak y Adrià - 2000 – 2001 Co-authored by Juan Mari Arzak and Ferran Adrià, and

La Cocina de Los Postres by Oriol Balaguer an English edition dessert book by the pastry chef of El Bulli.
