I don't know what it is, but for someone who used to care very little about food, I'm now terribly interested in it. Maybe it has something to do with Kristi showing me that vegetarian food can be interesting and tasty, or maybe it's just part of getting older and yearning for a potbelly.

As I've mentioned before, I've become a bit of a fan of the chef/writer/TV guy Anthony Bourdain. Even though the guy loves eating pigs more than having sex, his passion for food is inspiring.

Last night I was reading Anthony's most recent book "The Nasty Bits," and he mentioned a chef whom I've heard mentioned by other famous chefs on multiple occasions - a man named Ferran Adrià. Ferran is known for his scientific approach to cooking and his restaurant, El Bulli, which is always at the top of the best restaurant in the world list.

The other day I checked out the El Bulli site and was excited to see that the site is like a catalog of the strange/tasty/mind bending cuisine Ferran has cooked up.

If you're a fan of food, or just want to see some pretty pictures of strange culinary concoctions, check out the El Bulli food catalog photos. Click around and see what the mad doctor of food has cooked up in the past, and be inspired by the his non-traditional approach to a very traditional profession.
