"Culinary constructionism, whose maximum expression is Total Cooking, starts from the zero point of creation and is based on the flavor, taste, textures, aromas and color of the usual food. Miguel Sanchez Romera is a neurologist and knows perfectly well the neurophysiological mechanisms of the senses, especially taste and smell. But his approach to the kitchen goes much further. It is an art that tries to express the real, not the virtual, and in which it is manifested that, after years of scientific materialism, fragmented pluralism and deconstructive postmodernism, there is the possibility of achieving a comprehensive, global knowledge that explains cuisine as a whole by which it is nourished. , lives and survives, as large and extensive as life itself in nature, and which includes all the sciences and the arts." - dust jacket.
