ESPAISUCRE is the caprice of Jordi Butrón and partners’ Xano Saguer, Guillem Vicente and Reme Butrón, all promoters and developers of a new way of conceiving restaurant-style pastry cooking.
This team opens in February 2000 the only dessert restaurant in the world, marrying this risky but meditated idea with the school of restaurant-style desserts.
ESPAISUCRE restores the restaurant-style dessert as an element with its own
personality and codes, where the result of combining technique and
experience shades away the limits that separate the notion of sweet and
savory elements.
The pedagogical and didactical vocation of the
duo Butrón-Saguer lead them to creating a school of desserts, since
they consider it an essential tool to achieve a specific training in
the field of restaurant-style pastry.
Courses are addressed to those
who conceive pastry as something more than a mere mathematical and
precise combination of ingredients. Its knowledge is based on 3
mainstays:
- Knowing the raw material
- Knowing the traditional and state-of-the-art techniques
- Achieving the necessary judgment to manage all the information
This
team conceives pastry as a permanent training either technically or
gustatorily, always according to an innovative attitude, but at the
same time to respect towards tradition understood as an indispensable
ingredient of progress.
Together with the professional team they
train and make possible this project, ESPAISUCRE develops a service of
demonstrations and consultancy in Spain as well as abroad. A previous
exhaustive analysis of each client’s circumstances provides ESPAISUCRE
the necessary information to guarantee an exclusive and personalized
work.
