Offbeat (anglais) - Andrey Dubovik

Following in the footsteps of Superpralinairum, chef Andrey Dubovik presents a 380-page masterwork featuring 12 innovative techniques and 26 creations designed to define an era. This book traces his journey as a self-taught visionary who forged his own path outside conventional schools, rules, and tools—proving that passion and determination transform the impossible into reality.

Woven with theory, technique, and design, Dubovik's first-person narrative creates a human connection with readers. After covering chocolate fundamentals—tempering, cocoa butter and chocolate coloring, equipment, and key molding steps—he reveals surprising methods drawn from unexpected sources: physical phenomena like steam, static electricity, and heat; everyday objects such as toothpicks, brushes, coffee filters, and tape; and custom-created tools including perforated bottles, bespoke molds, stamps, and aluminum foil seals.

Packed with insider tips and step-by-step photography, this book offers a complete immersion into his creative universe. Experience his innovative methods, unprecedented effects, and striking creations that challenge chocolate work's traditional boundaries.
