El Celler de Can Roca

El Celler de Can Roca is honoured to introduce its ultimate publication: the book elaborates on over 25 years of creative processes, the values that have been the foundation of the career of the Roca brothers, and the most representative recipes of the restaurant’s history.

In this new book the three Roca brothers—Joan, Josep and Jordi—offer a direct account of the secrets of a restaurant that has always been known for the free style of its cuisine, its ability to innovate, and the enormous creative effervescence generated in sync by three thinking heads: Joan, in charge of savoury food, Jordi with sweets and Josep with wines and the dining room. In 500 pages, the Roca brothers take the reader through their history, philosophy and the techniques they have used in nearly 90 recipes. A total of 16 chapters answer to the creative lines and inspiration sources that nurture the Roca brothers: Tradition, Memory, Academia, Product, Landscape, Wine, Chromatism, Sweetness, Transversal Creation, Perfume, Innovation, Poetry, Freedom, Boldness, Magic, and Sense of Humour.

The reference book for El Celler is a large-format publication with an original, high-quality finish, fully illustrated in colour with images by the prestigious photographers David Ruano and Francesc Guillamet. It also includes a diary with the thoughts of a day spent at El Celler written by author Josep Maria Fonalleras and an illustrated catalogue of the 245 most outstanding dishes in the history of El Celler.
