Massimo Bottura's Lasagna Soundtrack by Yuri Ancarani
In a video for The New York Times, chef Massimo Bottura of Osteria Francescana in Modena—once ranked the world's best restaurant—is filmed by artist Yuri Ancarani as he prepares his signature dish, "La parte croccante di una lasagna." The video, set in a soundproof room with two assistants, focuses on the sounds of cooking: boiling water, sizzling ragù, whirring blenders, and the crunch of lasagna. Bottura then serves the dish to a robot without a mouth.
