The Wrigley represents the high-water mark of Beaux Arts Classicism in the city, a gleaming white palazzo at the head of Chicago’s grandest boulevard, Michigan Avenue. With lavish terra-cotta ornamentation, it was Chicago’s tallest building when it opened in 1921. The book focuses on the intertwined stories of William Wrigley Jr., the larger-than-life founder of the chewing gum empire, and Charles Gerhard Beersman, the relatively unknown architect who, mentored by architect Julia Morgan, brought the building to life.
Candy es un destilado de la cocina dulce creada en los restaurantes de elBarri a largo de toda una década (2011-2021). La última fase de su confección coincidió con la clausura de elBarri: ese irrepetible parque de atracciones gastronómico del que formaban parte Tickets, Bodega 1900, Hoja Santa, Pakta y Enigma. Para Albert Adrià y David Gil ―alma mater y jefe de pastelería de elBarri, respectivamente―, este libro representa un alto en mitad de sus carreras, una pausa que ha traído consigo un bien de incalculable valor: la oportunidad de volver la vista atrás, de evaluar los éxitos alcanzados y replantearse las próximas metas.
The turn of the 20th century was a golden era in France. It was an age of peace, prosperity, and progress after a series of bruising wars and turmoil within the French Republic, culminating in the Franco-Prussian War, which had ended in 1871. From the ruins of conflict, the Belle Époque brought joie de vivre flourish, a boom in art, design, industry, technology, gastronomy, education, travel, entertainment, and nightlife.
