Imperfect Books - Professional Pastry Base Recipe

Imperfect Books

We firmly believe that beauty lies in imperfection, and that is why we want to give a second life to those books that, although new, have suffered some mishap. Imagine this: books that have withstood bumps during transport, small scratches, damaged spines or slightly touched edges. They are imperfect books on the outside, but we assure you that on the inside, they are true gems.

Why should these treasures go to waste due to mere external scratches? We want to invite you to reflect: wouldn't you read a book whose interior is impeccable, even if its external appearance has suffered some mishaps? Imperfect books are our response to the need to reduce waste and value the uniqueness of each book. We are committed to giving these specimens a second chance, giving them a home where they are appreciated for their content, beyond their small physical imperfections.

About the book

The new Professional Pastry Base Recipe, written by the Barcelona Guild College of Confectionery (EPGB) and published by Books For Chefs, includes a total of 230 recipes organized in 16 families, which cover practically all of the fundamental creations of artisan pastry.

The work includes a chapter dedicated to the detailed description of the fundamental ingredients that are used in pastry today, from flour, chocolates, and dairy to sugars and egg products, passing through gelling agents, pectins, and leavening agents, among others.

From a practical point of view, each of the recipes is accompanied by a series of icons that indicate what utensils and what machinery and equipment are needed to make each creation. This visual information and the organization of all the content in different families make this recipe book a practical tool of enormous utility in workshops and kitchens.
