The Spanish pastry chef, who made a total of seven plated desserts, not only explained the function of each ingredient and how to classify it depending on its use in different contexts, but also developed techniques with different types of pectins to achieve lighter textures, less fat, and with a perfect freezing capacity, and unveiled new applications for the best known texturizing products.
