ABOUT THE BOOK

"Essence" by Jesús Escalera explores the vital role of aromas in crafting innovative ice creams and desserts.

This unique guide offers practical insights and techniques, empowering professionals in ice cream, pastry, and sweet cuisine to create bold, surprising, and successful flavor combinations.

A different manual full of practical keys that will allow the professionals of ice cream, pastry and sweet cuisine in general to create successful and surprising taste combinations.

Did you know that the vanilla aroma can be found in different fruits, such as banana or fig, in spices such as tonka bean, in fennel seeds, and in liquors such as bourbon or in some aged rums?

More and more studies are highlighting the great importance of aromas in gastronomy. But how to master them? Is it possible to create ice creams and desserts with aroma as a starting point, such as vanilla? 

Master pastry chef Jesús Escalera has been demonstrating for years in his Postrería in Guadalajara (Mexico) that it is indeed possible.

Why in Essence necessary?

  • To delve into a new and fascinating creative method, starting from the aromatic profile of the ingredients.
  • To bring a technical and complete approach to the world of ice cream for both ice cream makers and pastry chefs.
  • To highlight the potential of ice cream in gastronomy.
  • To discover a simple and practical classification of aromas, adapted to the needs of ice cream, pastry and cuisine professionals.
  • To explore the inexhaustible creativity of Jesús Escalera, one of the most versatile and world-renowned pastry chefs.

The book consists of a first theoretical part, which:

  • Reveals the keys to good ice cream
  • Teaches how to formulate in a practical way
  • Explains what flavor is and how to enhance it
  • Classifies the main aromas in a simple way
  • Details a new way of creating desserts and ice creams.

The second part offers 45 ice cream recipes with very different aromatic profiles and over 30 desserts and preparation suggestions. Each proposal is perfectly contextualized so that every professional gets to know in depth the creative process followed by Jesús Escalera.
