With her dishes, the lively three-star chef Elena Arzak from the Basque country presented an unmistakeable sense of colour, light and feeling. She demonstrated newly created dishes to the captive audience and explained how they evolved.

Two-Star chef Massimo Buttura disclosed how he draws his inspiration from the arts and traditional Italian cuisine. He revealed to the audience that even today his mother sometimes says to him that she is the better cook and quoted the German artist Joseph Beuys: "We shall never stop planting."
