The Californian experimenter (Part 2)
However Manresa is a restaurant of the modern Catalan cuisines. Its name goes from the name of medieval Catalan city known due to surprisingly beautiful Gothic monastery. The choice is not casual, as Catalonia is that region of the world where recently has taken place culinary revolution.
The majority of kitchen’s components are unique, because the question is about unusual equipment. Such technical equipment is equally difficult to find in any country. It was made on an individual demand. Besides for creation of such kitchen there won’t be enough designer from an ordinary company-supplier.
This kitchen was created by Mark Novak, the person, who worked with the best world cooks - Thomas Keller and Alain Ducasse.
The kitchen looks as chemical laboratory. It is a real “Ferrari”. Due to the modern equipment the cook almost is not limited in the search and can do thing of what other cooks cannot evn dream.
For example, to prepare fish almost instantly at a very high temperature. It will not burn down, its initial structure will change completely, but taste remain the same.
Or, on the contrary, to prepare meat at the lowest temperature that will make it so soft, that the customer will not need a knife.
Cooks of the restaurant were trained in Europe at the best restaurants. Including The Fat Duck and El Bulli, which head today the list of the best world restaurants.
