Miniature Pastries
Mini by Xavi Donnay is the first great book on contemporary pastry dedicated to the small format. What we once knew as petit fours, traditionally served at the end of a menu, are thoroughly reviewed by Xavi Donnay to give them a contemporary air and explore their full potential, not only in the context of a restaurant, but in any other type of reality -confectionery and pastry shops, sweet tables, afternoon tea, catering, sweet snacks, among others.
- Xavi Donnay is in charge of desserts at the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Lasarte in Barcelona and winner of the Best Pastry Chef in the World award in 2020 (Best Chef Awards).
- Mini displays a wide repertoire of signature creations spread over eight great families: Sablés, Cakes & Macarons, Choux, Giandujas, Free, Classics and Unclassifiable.
- The ambition of the book is to carry out an exhaustive look at different preparation techniques, reclaim technological ingredients when they are useful to improve a recipe, diversify presentation resources, and transform finishing formats.
- Xavi Donnay intends that the reader finds in the book a perfect ally to display an assortment of small-format pastry and to renew it as many times as needed, both in the type of format, as well as in the type of product and in the repertoire of flavors.
