Classico Futuro – Lorenzo Puca

Following the success of fragile, a book dedicated to the magic and intricate techniques of pulled, poured, and blown sugar artistry, Lorenzo Puca presents his second creation.

With his signature enthusiasm, the world champion has decided to share his vision of pastry with colleagues and enthusiasts alike, built upon three fundamental principles: lightness, simplicity, and practicality.

Understanding the real needs of professionals in the industry, Puca constantly questions what he has learned, reflects on every detail, experiments, and views things from different perspectives. This approach has led him to develop techniques and operational methods that make pastry work more harmonious, rational, and ultimately more profitable. He explains the reasons behind certain chemical and physical transformations of ingredients, thinking “out loud” and crafting recipes designed for high-selling, daily pastry production.

Classic Future

More than a recipe book, a real working tool.

Every classic technique is explained in detail, with practical tests on ingredients and their interactions, leading to recipes that are both beautiful and delicious.

The book explores:

- Baked structures and light masses (genoise, ladyfingers, sospiri, swiss rolls, ultra-soft rolls, choux-method sponge).

- The importance of egg aeration, especially egg whites, leading to meringue techniques.

- Choux pastry and an in-depth analysis of various types of light creams: pastry creams, emulsified creams, diplomat creams, and whipped creams (chantilly, mascarpone-whipped creams, namelaka, whipped ganache).

- Sauces, jams, and soaking syrups.

All essential base recipes in pastry are explained with a modern, logical, and fluid approach. The techniques are designed for efficiency and aesthetic enhancement, making the process both intelligent and practical.

This is precisely what is showcased in the creative recipe section, where Italian cakes, swiss rolls, and ultra-soft rolls are presented with modern and elegant designs, crafted with meticulous attention to detail—offering a collection of great practical value.
