Desserts at El Celler de Can Roca

I had an amazing time working at El Celler. I got to see an old friend and made a lot of new ones. It was a fantastic experience. I was able to see a host of new techniques, ingredients, and tools. I wish I had more time. Thank you for an amazing experience. I am very blessed to have a chance to see and work in some of the best restaurants in the world.
