Last May I wrote an article about the sad event by passing the Spanish cuisine at the hands of the statements made ​​by Santi Santamaria. For weeks we've had this controversy present in all media and even her echo has reached other countries and international media. No wonder the food and Spanish cuisine enjoyed a prestige and international recognition that this controversy has come to blur.

It makes me sad, but I feel a deep shame that a chef, a professional Spanish cuisine from the likes of Santi Santamaria hill is theater media to attack something that in recent years has led our country to the top of the world cuisine. I'm sorry but come on who comes and makes me think I put the alleged dose of prestige commensurate with the character, simply do not understand. Not that you can lead a person to make such statements in this way and that, not so much the things you have said but the way they have said and how they have been modulated according to the media noise they were producing. You may even think that the debate is interesting, but by God Santamaria! -worn otherwise.

As he knew nothing, not wanting to close this debate and my initial view presented in the article I wrote a few weeks ago without reading the new book by Santi Santamaria. If doing so would not have fallen into his own trap, if I have taken of their own medicine or are evangelizing me or something, but what if that is that after reading it I understand you better. I bought the book a few weeks ago and have not had time to write this reflection until today, but the desire to read that I took did take me a little over a week. The Naked oce C is a strong reader, dense and cluttered, with hundreds of ideas and thoughts, but can be summarized in a few, they do perceive a sincere and torn text, but mostly contradictory. Contradictory not only for its content, but who writes a contest between and among whom he has made statements, in some cases it appears that we are talking about different people.

One important thing I do wish to point out that inside the book we find a letter addressed to Ferran Adria in which he says, among other things, the noise was going to ride before getting this book for sale. Do you think presentable? Do you understand what you want? SELL more books? I do not understand that you will do the same for economic and also said revenue was going to donate, I think it just wants more talk about it, I'm sorry but I find no other explanation.

His book is disturbing, issues harsh and ironic criticism of everything that moves, everything that is in line with their understanding of and understand the kitchen, cooking, food, and many of them are so well deserved as strongly true, but others I can only disagree with them. I understand you better because I read things that I can not agree more, common sense or because of shared beliefs, but they are all things that have made me see a man with good sense and solid basis. But there are others that I reveal a man locked up, contradictory, spiteful, which weighs more the past than the future, clinging to their origin and without much interest in their fate.

When you put passion in the things he believes in what he does and is carried away by his feelings ... I understand that it may fall into contradictions, however, and regardless who disagrees with many of his opinions, which I can never share are their However, I think you should never lose form.
