Quique Dacosta
ANOTHER WAY TO BUILD A BOOK
A wildly innovative project combining the traditional paper book format and the latest in audiovisual technology.
Jointly, they are meant to capture and explain the culinary art of Quique Dacosta, chef and owner of El Poblet de Denia (Alicante, Spain).
THE BOOK
QD is a deluxe production comprised of both a book and a private website.
The goal of this book is to paint a picture of Quique Dacosta’s Universe, explain his evolution and the historic transcendence of his work by analyzing the 3 pillars on which it is founded (Knowledge, Culinary Ecosystems and Research) and the milestones he has reached. The reflections of the author, the technical developments and the narrative thread of the book reveal a critical, analytical vision of Quique Dacosta’s cuisine from 2000 to 2006. The commentaries, and in some cases the recipes themselves, are illustrated with images of more than 60 dishes representative of this period.
