Now that El Bulli, the world's most famous restaurant is closing, chef Ferran Adria can concentrate on other projects, like teaching a class at America's most famous college, Harvard University.
This fall Adria is teaming up with his old friend, Jose Andres to teach a 13-week 'culinary physics' course at Harvard. Andres runs several D.C. based restaurants and is often credited with introducing traditional Spanish cuisine to the U.S.
Other chefs will be joining them including Blue Hill's Dan Barber and Spanish compatriot Joan Roca (who has snagged his own Michelin star).
The course is not a typical cooking: the chefs will be instructing students on the abc's of physics and then moving onto demonstrations on how to make the emulsions and foams that are Adria's trademark.
Andres told Slashfood that "Harvard is a world-class university and when Harvard does something, other institutions around the world take notice. This is something completely new and I think you will see other universities starting similar programs."

I love to cook! would love to study under them.. but until then, I will just use my cookbooks.. one i found recently has been cracking me up and getting me in the kitchen. It is a hilariously politically incorrect cookbook i bought for my husband, but I have found that I am using it over and over again.. I can't tell you the title, cause it will upset some of you.. but if you have a good sense of humor.. google "get in the kitchen cookbook" or "whipped & Beaten culinary works" to find it.. but seriously. don't go if you can't take a good joke or get easily offended..

It seems a lot of money to fork over for snob value.

Since when did cooking great food become so lofty and out of the reach of most of us! My Grandmother cooked a pot roast to die for, my Mother's food was incredible! I'm NOT saying these guys are a joke at ALL! They have a certain genius that should be respected.......but HARVARD??? Guess this is just another way of branding.

3-28-2010 @5:18PM Teri said... Oh, for goodness sake, whatever you pay at Harvard is for all your courses and not just one. This sounds like an elective course to me and a danged good one at that. I don't beleive it is taught by cooking snobs nor will it make cooking snobs. It is helping to give a well rounded education to those who chose it. Wish I had the opportunity.

In truth, many of the kids who went to Harvard never needed financial aids and many have silverspoon or connections to get into Harvard. Watch out when you filled out those Financial Aid form. It can be a reason for rejection for admission if you are poor and disadvantage. Harvard have endowment that is so monumental that they can pay for all the tuition of all the students for up to 5 year tuition free. It is really a scam what these private institution caters to..Social Elites. Buy your admission slots, it has always worked and continue to work unless serious reforms happen in our post secondary education which government will never part-take. Poor kids like myself can only afford public institution which are starved with poor equipments and lack of resources.

Johnston's book Price of Admission, It exposes the truth about backdoor secrets of college admissions to American Ivy League Schools yet they send out student recuiters to the Middle East to cater to those social elites who are well financed. Factoid, our college admission can be obtained by the highest bidder or backdoor connections. If you are disadvantaged, broke, or Asian, you will never be admitted to these elite colleges. There are scholarships such as equastrians where it is unrealistic for working class students who are gainfully qualified for the precious slots. Thank god for internet, otherwise, education will never be the same playing field. I had to work so hard to just obtain articles my research due to the fact my college did not have the articles, equipment, and/or money required for my college studies. It should be done just by test scores only..just like Japan so the best amongest the crowd can obtain one and only chance for success in this highly competitive world.
