We first met in 1999 at El Bulli. His prodigious intellectual powers were already evident - so, have been waiting almost twenty years for this book. I cannot tell you which I enjoyed more his recipes or his prose - one part Lorca's Theory and Play of Duende, one Orwell's Down and Out, and one part Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus - I read it cover-to-cover in a single session.-Craig Shelton, James Beard award-winning chef

With a foreword penned by Ferran Adria, you can expect the cookbook to feature sophisticated and challenging recipes and techniques.-Epicure Asia
An avant garde meditation on sugar... Goldfarb might be the Thom Yorke of pastry, a philosophical surrealist who dabbles in sweets... It's because of the... wonder, the soft imagery, the jokes, the humanity, even the debossed gold satin cover, that I couldn't love [this book] more.-Eater

The culinary world has been watching and following what he has been doing for years and finally they can hold a piece of his incredible work in their own hands. The way that he presents his creativity and the stories of inspiration are truly a masterpiece.-Bradley Kilgore, Kilgore Culinary, Chef/CEO
