Watch Ferran Adrià Talk Creativity and Craft

It's in Spanish

Ferran Adrià ran El Bulli, the restaurant that redefined what food could be. For years, El Bulli was considered the best restaurant in the world—not just for the dishes, but for the ideas behind them. Adrià treated cooking like research, asking questions most chefs never think to ask.

In this interview with Jordi Wild on The Wild Project, Adrià talks about creativity, craft, and what it takes to build something that matters. It's not a cooking tutorial. It's a conversation about why someone dedicates their life to pushing a craft forward, and what happens when that craft becomes art.

The interview is in Spanish, which means English speakers bounce—and miss one of the best food conversations available on YouTube.

How to watch the full interview with English subtitles

Translator is a desktop app that lets you download videos, add translated subtitles, and watch them in your language. Here's the workflow:

1. Paste the YouTube URL — Copy the video link and paste it into Translator's download field.
2. Download the video — Translator pulls down the video and any available captions. This is free and happens on your machine.
3. Transcribe or translate — If the video doesn't have Spanish captions, you can transcribe it using AI. If it does, you can translate those captions to English. You can use Stage5 credits (pay per minute) or bring your own API key from OpenAI or Anthropic.
4. Watch with subtitles you control — The app plays the video with your translated subtitles. You can edit the timing, fix translations, choose subtitle styles, and export the final SRT file.

The video stays on your computer. You're not streaming it through a web app or uploading it to someone else's server. Translator works locally.

What you'll hear

Adrià talks about the difference between cooking and creating, why El Bulli closed at its peak, and what it means to treat food as something more than fuel. He explains how his team approached the creative process—not as individual genius, but as structured research that happened to produce dishes.

Jordi Wild is one of Spain's most-watched podcasters, and he gives Adrià room to think through his answers. The conversation moves between philosophy, business, craft, and legacy. If you've ever read about El Bulli or seen photos of the dishes, this is the interview that explains what was actually happening in that kitchen.

YouTube's auto-generated English subtitles for foreign videos are often incomplete or missing entirely. Even when they exist, they're not always accurate. Translator gives you control: you decide which translation model to use, you can edit the results line by line, and you own the final subtitle file.

This isn't about replacing your browser's auto-translate feature. This is for videos you actually want to watch carefully—interviews, lectures, documentaries—where the accuracy of the subtitles and your ability to edit them matters.

If you've been clicking through Spanish food content, Brazilian design talks, or Korean film criticism and wishing you could actually understand what's being said, Translator is built for that.
