No apron, with her eyes wide open and taking notes: Ferran Adrià, Juan Mari Arzak, Andoni Luis Aduriz, Pedro Subijana, Michel Gras, Carme Ruscalleda, Willie Dufresne, Quique Dacosta, Pascal Barbot, Adolfo Muñoz, Mark Moran, Mario Sandoval ... Several generations of chefs gathered around the meeting Dialogues kitchen (www.dialogosdecocina.com) two days where the chefs go out of their habitat to discuss the feelings of the five (and more) senses.
