Meet the Chef with Maurici Cot

Welcome to Meet The Chef! Our new section in which you will discover amazing projects that bet on a different pastry perspective.

Maurici Cot, a student of the Extended Online B·Concept Pastry Course, is the founder of a wonderful gluten-free and lactose-free bakery in Llinars del Vallès, Barcelona.

After training for seven years at variouspastry culinary andpastry schools and working in different bakeries, hotels, and restaurants, he has won several awards, such as the Agri-Food Technological Innovation Award, the Fava d'or for Best pastry for People with Food Intolerances and Allergies, Best Young Innovative Food Craftsman, and the Fava de Cacau for the 50 Best Pastry Shops in Catalonia on two occasions.

Conscious of how difficult it is to find a high quality and handmade gluten and lactose free product, Maurici promotes people’s wellness and adapts to his clients’ needs. In his pastry shop he elaborates pastry products made with rice flour, corn flour, potato starch, soy flower, and buckwheat flour.

They also elaborate petits gâteaux (brownies, Massini and Sacher cakes) for hotels, caterings, or events. Their entremets and viennoiseries contain tasty preparations such as mousses, creamies, glazes. He loves working with different textures and flavors!

"Life evolves, everything evolves, cooking and pastry , and although the latter takes a little longer to evolve, it is also improving, which is why I believe training is essential to reach more customers and not get left behind," says Maurici.

His success isn't arbitrary. Maurici has invested hours and hours of hard work, enthusiasm, and continuous training. We are proud to support his professional path as he is a student of our Jordi Bordas Pastry School.

His project began as a family business, and as he has evolved, a remarkable team of women has joined him in his path. Women that are also students and that want to keep learning all about pastry.

The Extended Online B·Concept Pastry Course has taught him to work from scratch with healthier and lighter products, and the B·Concept method has given him tools to be able to design and elaborate his own pastry creations.

We will not reveal any more details! We want you to enjoy this beautiful coverage that Ramón Pampín has recorded! In this video, Maurici explains how he managed to fulfill his dreams and goals… an inspiring story that makes us proud!
