...lectures such the one he gave at Harvard were required to help them support the venture. Expanding the elBulli product line and promoting the brand are "part of what we do with the rest of the six months of the year," she explained. Besides pricey books, revenue streams include kitchen equipment and other enterprises. But it all serves the purpose of maintaining the restaurant and its all-important taller or laboratory workshop in Barcelona where Adria and his creative staff conjure up a new menu each year...
After the lecture, I joined the Adrias and the scientist-organizers of their visit at a sumptuous 30-course dinner scheduled at Clio, an elegant restaurant in Boston's Back Bay. Its chef, Kenneth Oringer, spent some time in the elBulli kitchen. Adria was happily relaxed but still peppering the scientists at the table with questions about the qualities of certain foods. Why, he asked, did red beets emulsify so much more easily than anything else he's used in the kitchen. None of the scientists had an answer but someone suggested putting the root crop through a molecular spectroscope...
...plates was adding up. Even though elBulli is known to serve 40 courses per person each night, the Adrias were jet-lagged and facing another two days at Harvard. Dinner the next night was going to be substantial too. (The locale: Chinatown.) But how do you tell a kitchen to stop being generous?

Once, when Melzak found empty food wrappers on the kitchen counter and asked who did it, "immediately Roxy's tail went between her legs, she had this really sheepish expression on her face, and she went to skulk on the stairs. She knew she wasn't meant to do that." Melzak says Roxy also behaves jealously when he pays attention...
...currency, but after blowing through tens of billions of dollars in September and October, it changed course in mid-November, and has since begun a policy of phased devaluation. That's calling up bad memories of the ruble's collapse in 1998, and prompting nervous talk around kitchen tables about what to do this time around. On Dec. 4, Putin fielded vetted questions from around the nation on a televised call-in show. One of the most poignant was a text message from an unnamed viewer: "What will happen to the ruble, and what is the best currency to keep...
