What will the gastronomy of the future look like? Chef Ferran Adrià, the architect of the world's most important culinary revolution in recent memory, asks this question and accompanies us to seven countries to find the answers in the origins of their culinary traditions. And he does so as a guest editor of the first issue of a new magazine, Apart, started by the team at CUINA magazine.
The paths of new haute cuisine
Since the revolution launched by Adrià from elBulli, French haute cuisine has no longer been the only reference for fine dining. Any culinary culture can inspire new ways of cooking and eating. In these six destinations we find techniques, ingredients and chefs that prove it. René Redzepi, Yoshihiro Narisawa and Najat Kaanache share top billing with anonymous chefs who are heirs to gastronomic traditions as ancient as they are modern.

CATALONIA
Landscapes & flavours
Beautiful, rich, and welcoming. This is Catalonia, a country made up of a great variety of landscapes, the result of diverse geography and a lot of personality. The geographical features that define it also mark its gastronomic culture. A country for every taste.

The world's larder
We think we can find everything everywhere, but there are still places where you can be
surprised. We discovered one in the market of Belém do Pará, at the gates of the Amazon.
JAPAN
Innovation is the essence
We will discover how renowned chef Yoshihiro Narisawa (Tokyo) refines his country’s tradition with the latest culinary technology.

So ancient, so modern

bettered? We investigate the reasons that make the Argentine asado an object of fascination for us.

After his work at elBulli, chef René Redzepi’s take on his country’s native
ingredients has revived Scandinavian food culture and fine dining.

From tradition to creation

Fes medina, which has elevated Moroccan cuisine to the status of haute cuisine.

Philosophy behind the cuisine
We travel to Crete to discover its popular cuisine, a cuisine linked to a way of understanding the world based on balance, a human scale… and enjoyment of life.
