Imperfect Books - So Good no 21

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 Issue

Davide Comaschi, Johan Martin, Frank Haasnoot, and Yann Couvreur come together in issue 21 to share their vision of pastry, their attitude towards such a dynamic sector, their creative methods, and their desire for innovation.

An issue with alternative articles, such as the experiences of the five new MOF pâtissier, the work of the spectacular school Wang Sen in Shanghai with 12 campuses and 3,000 students per year, or the research on ganaches developed by Ramon Morató with Anne Cazor. Other great professionals showcase more culinary styles, betting on local culture, reclaiming that which is gourmand, geometrically balanced presentations, and much more.
