ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Offbeat is the definitive book by Andrey Dubovik — a self-taught chocolatier who has redefined contemporary chocolate design through radical creativity and fearless experimentation.

Available in English and Spanish, this 380-page volume documents the vision and evolution of a creator forged outside schools, rules, and conventional tools. It is both a manifesto and a masterwork: 12 original techniques, 26 groundbreaking designs, and a creative philosophy destined to leave a lasting mark on modern chocolate.

More than a technique book, Offbeat traces Dubovik’s personal journey to understand the mindset behind a truly independent creator. Written in the first person, the narrative weaves together life story, theory, and practice with honesty, humanity, and a rare connection to the reader.

After revisiting the essential foundations — tempering, cocoa butter coloring, tools and equipment, and the key stages of molded chocolate — Dubovik pushes far beyond tradition. He introduces astonishing techniques inspired by unexpected sources:
• physical phenomena such as steam, heat, and static electricity
• everyday objects like toothpicks, brushes, coffee filters, and masking tape
• and custom-made tools developed exclusively for this project, including perforated bottles, bespoke molds, stamps, and aluminum foil seals

Each concept is explained with precision and generosity, supported by step-by-step photography that immerses you fully in his creative universe. The result is an uncompromising exploration of process, innovation, and design — offering never-seen effects and striking visual results.

Offbeat is not about following rules.
It is proof that when an idea is pursued with conviction, the impossible becomes possible.

ABOUT ANDREY DUBOVIK

Andrey Dubovik stands out as one of the most original and influential voices in contemporary bonbon making. Guided by curiosity and excitement — and entirely self-taught — he developed a deeply personal, empirical, and radically unconventional approach to chocolate. Always thinking beyond established boundaries, he introduced unprecedented tools, materials, and techniques that have since become his unmistakable signature.

From air blowing and stamping to static electricity and steam, every technique he creates is tied to a specific moment, emotion, or phase of his life. As he explains, “Each technique is associated with a period of my life,” reflecting his belief that personal growth and professional evolution are inseparable.

Among the highlights of his career are the internationally acclaimed course and book Superpralinarium, as well as his ongoing dedication to inventing tools that previously did not exist in chocolate making — several developed in collaboration with Makeat. Alongside this, he maintains an intensive schedule of in-person courses worldwide, convinced that live teaching and direct exchange with fellow professionals remain an endless source of inspiration.

While his work remains deeply personal, his current focus is increasingly functional: refining and simplifying processes, improving efficiency, and pushing innovation forward — all without ever compromising aesthetics or quality.
