It is a reflection of Joan Roca collecting documentary Snacks, snacks from a revolution, led by the gastronomic journalist Cristina Jolonch and creator of the festival Film & Cook Veronica Escuer, in which great figures of the Spanish culinary forefront as the chef of El Celler de Can Roca remember how they were able to infect the world his passion for cooking from reinvent absolute freedom and create a new language today is universal.
“I have not seen any major restaurant in the world that does not use techniques elBulli,” says the chef Paco Perez Miramar. A transverse and global influence has injected desire to improve the chefs – “all want to be number one in the world” Quique Dacosta- supports them and has brought a new challenge: finding the balance between influence and own label.

The oyster Francescana chef remembers precisely how he learned in Cala Montjoi “you can convey emotion through a sardine or a piece of Parmesan. With the humblest elements of the kitchen, the heroes of the working class”.
Because it was not always so. The film’s influence academic Nouvelle Cuisine in these chefs is addressed, seeking the New Basque Cuisine and why the Bulli finished breaking the old rules.
And, either to enhance an ingredient or rescue a humble element, the last will of the avant-garde cuisine is seeking and sápida sensory experience, encouragement after beauty. “The worst in a dining experience is indifference. I prefer that people angry, “says Andoni Luis Aduriz. “The revolution is made” head of Joan Roca.
