We'll work with any designer producing something linked to gastronomy. So a chair for the dining area, a van to move food around. Anything that's connected to the gastronomic process.

We opened El Bulli there were no secrets there. The recipes were not secret. Anybody who came, the recipes were there for them. This was unthinkable then.

I never cook at home. After 15 hours at work, I don't have much of a desire to cook at home. I do eat at home, but it's always something simple. Raw nuts. Almonds, hazelnuts, pine nuts--these are marvelous products. I am, however, the type that likes to go out to eat a lot. I never tire of it.

People wouldn't think of making avant-garde cuisine at home. When people play basketball at home, they can't play like Michael Jordan.

El Bulli was created by 2,000 people that passed through it. And we didn't know that something big was happening. It was like a game in a way. You didn't really know how it was going to end up, and people who would leave, they would take a piece of it with them, but they would leave another piece behind.

You may say, Oh, no. You can't touch a traditional recipe. But we ask: why can't you? Back in 1350, a vinaigrette was a stew, so we ask, why not? This can be applied to any kind of cooking, and that's the shocking part of it. It kind of bends all the traditions. It's a good thing.

When you talk about avant-garde cuisine, the surprise factor is really important. For example, I love looking at blogs and the photos, but I'm not that keen on other people taking photos of my dishes.

The menu de degustation is the finest expression of avant-garde cooking.

When a customer receives a dish, they get food and design at the same time.

I don't worry about the things I can't change.

Remember that a very good sardine is always preferable to a not that good lobster.

I had a very normal childhood, and my mother cooked very normal food.

If you go off the edge, it's not cooking anymore, so you have to push it to the limit... What are the limits?

I cant live without activity I cant be sedentary.

Could you imagine people eating a painting - if they could introduce a painting into their bodies? It's probably the artist's dream, and we have the opportunity to do so.

If you think well, you cook well.

I have a drivers licence, but the truth is that I hardly ever drive. I prefer to get around by taxi.

Food is about being happy - at a table, thats probably where we spend most of our happiest hours.

When I go to a fine dining restaurant, I'm excited and I do expect to find proposals to wake my senses.

My idol was Johann Cruyff (a Dutch soccer player) and I wanted to be like him. But when I realized that I would never be, I decided to do something else. I met the kitchen by chance and quickly became completely enamoured by it.
