n a world where healthy eating is an increasing priority, artisanal pastry faces a
unique challenge and opportunity: reducing the use of fats and sugars without
compromising flavor, texture, or the overall experience. According to the World
Health Organisation, excessive consumption of sugars and fats is directly linked to
global health issues such as obesity and cardiovascular diseases. In this context,
pastry chefs play a key role as creators of offerings that align with wellness trends
and social responsibility.
The traditional use of fats and sugars in pastry has been crucial to ensuring
properties like preservation and texture. However, scientific advancements and
the incorporation of new ingredients, such as inulin and oligofructose, open up a
world of possibilities. These natural fibers enable sugar reduction while increasing
fiber content, achieving the perfect balance between health and indulgence.
The recipes featured in this booklet invite you to explore these innovations: from
coconut crunch with inulin to praline glaze with oligofructose, each creation
demonstrates that it is possible to meet the expectations of the most discerning
palates while aligning with the needs of today’s society.
This year, we’re going even further: we’ve included the nutritional value of each
recipe, allowing you to see the fat, calorie, and fiber content. We also encourage
you to make your own comparisons with other recipes if you wish.
The collaboration between Jordi Bordas and Sosa Ingredients has been
transforming the world of pastry for many years. At SIRHA 2023, we presented a
joint project on the use of fibers in pastry, and in 2025, we are proud to continue
exploring this direction. With so much potential yet to uncover, we are excited to
keep collaborating and reshaping the future of artisanal pastry together.
