"Sweetology is the anthology of pastrymaking. From Josep Maria Rodriguez's La Pastisseria. The world champion in this gastronomic discipline has brought together his philosophy and his very personal creative style in his first book, published by Montagud Editores. The book, published as a Spanish-English bilingual edition, captures the guiding principles that define the brand created and developed by this Barcelona pastry chef in the two shops he runs in the Catalan capital. The book is structured so as to allow readers to enter into the creative universe of Josep Maria Rodriguez, and to become initiated into pastrymaking through the development of the techniques, formulas and processes that are the base of the profession. Pastry; Individual; Sweetology; Cakes; Renewed Traditiion; Cups; Sables; Dessert; Index Formulation. The release of Sweetology is driven by the talent of a professional who has been chosen to lead the long-awaited revolution in Spanish pastrymaking with a view to its international projection, reinforced by the strength of a gastronomy that is represented by cutting-edge chefs. And as a tribute to and display of the potential pastrymaking has in sweet cuisine, Josep Rodriguez's first book interprets the culinary ideologies of Eneko Atxa (Azurmendi), David Munoz (Diverxo), Paco Perez (Miramar), Francis Paniego (El Portal del Echaurren), Angel León (Aponiente), Josean Alija (Nerua), Albert Adria (Tickets) and Jordi Roca (El Celler de Can Roca). It is a mutually praiseworthy series in which this pastry chef has designed a pastry composition inspired in each respective chef. A unique collection of 8 pastries with a flavour and presentation that are the result of 8 very personal ways of interpreting the ultra-contemporary through pastry."--Back cover
