Published by Grup 62, the book stems from the historic rivalry between chefs Santi Santamaria and Ferran Adrià. Bonet explores how this 'war' led to a shift in Catalonia's culinary landscape, moving away from traditional family-run establishments.
“"If Catalan cuisine were normalized in Barcelona, there would be no need for anyone to defend it."
Drawing from his own experience at his family's restaurant in Salou, Bonet uses fiction to criticize the current state of Barcelona's food scene, which he describes as increasingly disconnected from its cultural roots.
