Cocktail Cooking (eBook), Tony Botella

Tony Botella is a renowned professional in the industry who, after various experiences and his time as R&D director at the Paradís Group, opened his own culinary workshop. It's a center specializing in gastronomic consulting, professional training, and catering. But it's also the space where Botella dedicates himself to his passion: culinary research and the development of new techniques.

The dishes presented in this book are the fruit of Botella's constant desire to evolve and discover new processes and textures. Cocktail Cuisine illustrates Botella's commitment to breaking with the traditional idea of ​​appetizers. It is, as the author defines it, "cuisine for eating standing up," requiring neither cutlery nor the bread-based support so common in classic cocktails. There are more than 50 original creations from a cuisine specifically designed for cocktail parties, grouped under evocative titles such as "foie gras bonbons," "stews in a cup," and "makicanapés." Can you imagine passing around trays of spaghetti-based creations at a cocktail party? Tony Botella suggests an ingenious technique to achieve this.

Furthermore, all the recipes are illustrated in detail with step-by-step instructions and attractive photographs of the final assembly. Its format and innovative binding make this volume a highly manageable and useful tool for professionals. An original assortment of recipes specially designed and presented for cocktail receptions. Winner of the Best Design Award, Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2003. Also available in English and French.
