Anarkia, Jordi Roca (Ebook)

“Anarkia,” published by Montagud Editores, includes desserts by Jordi Roca and dishes from Joan Roca's kitchen that incorporate pastry techniques. This work is destined to be a landmark publication.

The 560 pages of this book offer a journey through the most outlandish and creative desserts of recent times. The unparalleled ingenuity of the youngest of the Roca brothers permeates this publication with creations characterized by fantasy. This master of sweets brings gastronomic dreams to life.

Throughout the book, you'll find a thorough review of pastry techniques and essential ingredients in sweet cuisine. From the origins of cocoa and recommendations for tempering chocolate; the more than fifteen types of sugar and their uses; the extensive repertoire of creams, the use of foams, the art of puff pastry making, the vast world of ice cream, to essential oils, as well as cold infusions and distillates, indispensable due to their prominent presence in Roca's cooking.

“Anarkia” features 115 creations, 478 preparations, 102 step-by-step processes, and 2,050 photographs. All of this reflects what happens in the pastry section of El Celler de Can Roca, a free-style restaurant, a cuisine of freedom, committed to creative innovation, and one that never forgets the legacy of generations of the family's ancestors, dedicated to feeding people. Jordi, in conjunction with Joan and Josep, is the piece that completes the orchestral ensemble of this temple of gastronomy, which, from pure emotion, combined with daring creativity and a rationality committed to innovation, creates a magical cuisine that allows it to define the most immediate gastronomic contemporaneity, offering diners one of their most exquisite experiences.

“This is the great pastry book that was missing from the publishing sector. Now, the greatness of Jordi Roca will be understood,” explains Jãvi Antoja de la Rosa, head of Editorial Projects at Montagud Editores and director of the book.
