Albert Adrià, Tickets*

Albert Adrià's interest in cuisine first began thanks to his parents, Ginés and Josefa, but it was his brother Ferran who inspired him to explore food as a career. In 1985, he left his studies to begin working at elBulli. After two years of apprenticeship, he started to focus his interest on pâtisserie. He completed his education in various pâtisseries alongside great pastry chefs such as Antoni Escribà and Francisco Torreblanca. In late 1998, he began working on a creativity workshop at the headquarters of Bullicatering. The Bullitaller consisted of a table, some books and two chairs, one for him and the other for Oriol Castro. The workshop quickly gained in importance for the creative development of elBulli, so it moved to a new location in the centre of Barcelona. Until 2008, Albert Adrià worked as the director of the Bullitaller and was responsible for desserts at elBulli.
