The Sorcerer’s Apprentices: Chefs in Spain | Noe Valley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

New York Time’s Spain correspondent Lisa Abend offers an intimate glimpse of life as a stagiaire—a cook who agrees to work for almost nothing for a season as one of Adrià’s apprentices. Weaving the history of the restaurant and Adrià’s own story with the threads of the 35 stagiaires who apprenticed at el Bulli from June to December 2009, she captures the intense desire to learn and to please, the demanding pace of the work, and the anxiety over success and failure that drives these young chefs.
