ElBulli 1846 is the cooking laboratory; the new name was chosen based on the number of recipes (1846) that were created throughout the years in the original restaurant. The research workshop will host «40 people from around the world, from cooks to designers to architects», Adrià said, «We will work on efficiency and innovation and the final result will be about cooking and will be published on the Internet.»
