Book SynopsisMaking and assembling a dessert is a journey. It's a considered process, a visual translation of culinary thoughts, and a transformation of an idea to a 2D plan and finally a 3D reality. Most of us own a collection of recipe books and some of them are very familiar to us, part of our kitchen stapples even. But how do all the chefs come up with those recipes? What are their inspirations and how do they bring them to life? Chef Tal Spiegel book - This is not a recipe book - takes you through creativity and culinary exploration, into a finalized creation. With over 15 years of experience in design and patisserie, Spiegel will give you a glimpse into how his brain works, and how simple ideas are developed into concepts and creations. "I want to teach people not only how to make my creations, but mainly to inspire them to create their own by learning to develop their own creative process" - Tal Spiegel In his works, Spiegel combines the design codes he acquired over the years and applies them to the world of patisserie with an emphasis on colours, structure and composition.
