The Art of Cooking with Fire

Biography • 1h 24m

Directed by Iñaki Arteta • Documentary • With Bittor Arginzoniz • 2019 • 84 minutes

Self-taught Bittor Arginzoniz has achieved world fame as a grill genius with his restaurant Asador Etxebarri, ranked as third best restaurant in the world world in 2019. His personality and the place where he lives make his cuisine unique — minimalism is his trademark. Bittor has revolutionized the way people roast meat, fish, and vegetables. He has a remarkable ability to coax out explosive flavors from seemingly simple ingredients, most of which are grilled over his famous adjustable-height grills. The film offers viewers an exclusive look into Bittor’s way of working, from the obsessive search for the best products to the preparation and cooking. Bittor shares his sources of inspiration and motivation.
