Summary
Three Michelin-starred chef Ferran Adria is widely considered the best, most innovative and craziest chef in the world. In his kitchen, that which was once familiar disintegrates. Each year his restaurant El Bulli closes for 6 months time for Adria and his team to retire to his Barcelona cooking laboratory to create the new menu. Anything goes except copying oneself. With unprecedented access, EL BULLI - COOKING IN PROGRESS lets us step inside one of the world's premier haute cuisine restaurants, where the experimentation process is as wild, colourful and delicious as the food.

Summary
This film takes a wry look at the cultural confrontation of East and West, as reflected in attitudes towards the cow. In India, the cow is revered and cared for well beyond its prime. We see a hospice where cows spend their last days in comfort. When the BBC reports on the mass slaughter of cows due to mad cow disease, the Indians are appalled. One suggests that the British send their sick and old cows to India for caretaking. When McDonald's opened up in New Delhi, featuring the Maharajah Burger, there was outrage at this affront. To many Indians it is a symbol of Western cultural imperialism -- Western greed undermining traditional values in India. One elderly maharajah hopefully observes that the Indian culture has survived thousands of years and will not succumb to this latest onslaught.
