Illusion and the Art of Culinary Constructionism:
A Self-Portrait for Spring 2007

Friday, March 30, 7:00 pm
Members $1,000, General Public $1,250

Spanish culinary phenomenon Miguel Sánchez Romera likes to distinguish himself from his compatriot and colleague Ferran Adrià by practicing what he calls culinary “constructionism,” an approach to cooking and eating that engages all of the senses and builds on the memories they evoke. As an eminent neurologist and neurophysiologist as well as a chef, Romera brings the mind of a scientist and the training of a physician to the kitchen. His cooking is creative, intellectual, exhilarating, and delicious. And your only chance to sample it in North America is at this exclusive Beard House dinner. To ensure that everyone has an extraordinary experience, the chef has limited the seating to 50, so make your reservations early.
