Want to Have Dinner with Chef Ferran Adria?

This year, How to Spend It marks their 20^th’s anniversary. To celebrate they will be partnering with renowned Chef Ferran Adria to host a series of four intimate dinners. Adria was once chef of now closed ElBulli, located in Roses, Catalonia, Spain and had a 3 Michelin Star rating. This year the restaurant is reopening as a foundation located in a Natural Park and will be dedicated to protecting, conserving and increasing biodiversity. How to Spend It has been part of the Financial Times for more than 40 years, starting as a 1 page spread in the Saturday edition to a full color glossy magazine featuring high end products and experiences. The website launched in 2009 and features this unique experience with Adria.

This once in a lifetime opportunity is a collaboration between How To Spend It editor Gillian de Bono and Ferran Adria. Each of the four dinners will begin with a champagne reception. The diners will then be treated to a five-course meal with wine parings inspired by elBulli. During the evening guests will enjoy a series of talks with Ferran Adria and the host chef for the evening. Upon departure, guests will be treated to a signed copy of chef Ferran’s book elBulli 2005-2011. ElBulli is  a seven volume compilation of over 750 recipes.
