CULINARY CREATIVITY EXPRESSIONS OF FOOD BY THE WORLD’S BEST CHEFS by FLAVEL MONTEIRO

Culinary Creativity: Expressions of Food by the World’s Best Chefs is a celebration of culinary art combined with a touch of fine art. This journey into culinary expression was sparked by an insightful moment in 1987. Ferran Adrià attended a masterclass by Jacques Maximin, the then chef de cuisine of Chantecler in Nice, France. A journalist asked Jacques Maximin, “What is creativity?” Without hesitation, his reply was, “Creativity means not copying”. The answer had an impact on Adrià and it was the beginning of his transformative journey at elBulli.Inspired by this simple philosophy, Flavel set out to compose a score “Culinary Creativity”, uniting 80 of the world’s most exceptional chefs in a harmonious celebration of innovation and creativity along with ten of New York’s finest artists in a 572-page eBook.This anthology spans seven continents, showcasing 80 chefs from 27 countries, who collectively hold over 143 Michelin stars and 10 Michelin green stars. These chefs appear regularly in prestigious awards list like The Best Chef, La Liste, World’s 50 Best Restaurants, Repsol Guide, Gault Millau, Pudlowski Guide, Lebey Guide, among others. Their culinary expressions are presented through five dishes, where innovation, creativity tells a story or captures essence with minimalistic descriptions. This symphony begins with reflections from Ferran Adrià, recognized as the culinary genius of the 21st century. The Creative Process by Cristian Gadau, Founder and CEO of The Best Chef, followed by Transfigured by Debbie Dickinson and introductions by the renowned French chef Guy Savoy with his commitment to passing on knowledge and gastronomy making its mark on the world; and the award-winning travel and food writer Doug Singer. The touch of fine art - Transfigured curated by Debbie Dickinson (the iconic supermodel of the 70s & 80s and the muse of Karl Lagerfeld and Saint Laurent, the house model for Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld for Chloe, Issey Miyake). Transfigured is an invitation to experience the transformative dialogue between abstraction and figuration in contemporary art. This collection re imagines the familiar and transcends traditional boundaries, opening a realm where existence itself is reshaped and redefined by the finest artists fro New York. This exquisite blend of gastronomy and art, designed not only to inspire chefs and those who have a passion food but also to bring joy by celebrating creativity that delights the senses and fusion of culinary excellence and artistic beauty!
