Course content
In this course, you will learn to create pastry recipes from scratch using the B·Concept method, particularly water-based recipes such as mousses, creams, and compotes, which can be applied to all types of pastry. We will work with essential ingredients such as chocolate, nuts, and fruit, and use them to develop textures using the four basic pastry techniques.
We will always work from our personal perspective of pastry; healthier, lighter, and tastier. Also, the B·Concept method will allow you to create your own recipes to suit your needs, whatever they may be.
You’ll gain all this theoretical knowledge by starting with an online component that you can complete on your own one month before the course begins. Then, during the course, you’ll work in teams to expand your knowledge, put what you’ve learned into practice, and create more than 30 recipes. Finally, you’ll enjoy a full buffet featuring a variety of pastry using the B·Concept method.
In this brief introduction, we’ll explain the three basic pillars of our pastry.
We’ll review the four basic techniques for creating textures that we always use, and we’ll explore the essential ingredients in our pastry, such as chocolate, nuts, and fruit.
Next, we will share a brief introduction about the B·Concept method and the step-by-step process to formulate recipes from scratch. We will compare classic recipes with recipes formulated by our team, to understand the differences between them and the improvements we have achieved.
One Chocolate is gluten-free and lactose-free. It consists of a cocoa cake batter, an almond and cocoa crumble, a crunchy layer of almonds, cocoa, and 75% ChocoCoco, a creamy, gelatinous cocoa mousse, and a dark chocolate glaze.
Gluten-free and lactose-free peach dessert. It consists of a shortbread base and almond cream, a creamy roasted peach filling, a peach foam, yellow icing, and red icing.
Gluten-free and lactose-free pecan and cocoa cake. It consists of a pecan and cocoa cake batter, a light cocoa ganache, a chocolate cream, caramelized pecans, a 75% ChocoCoco coating, and a pecan and 75% ChocoCoco glaze.
On the first day of class, we’ll start working on gel-based textures. We’ll explore the various gelling agents available on the market and create new recipes from scratch by working as a team.
The second day of the course will focus on creamy textures, which are achieved primarily through emulsification and thickening techniques. We will explore the texturizing agents used in these types of recipes and, just like the previous day, we will put theory into practice.
On the third day of the course, we will focus on light, airy textures and experiment with classic and modern meringues, made with various ingredients (eggs, dairy products, plant-based proteins, etc.) and sweetened with sugars and fibers.
To wrap up the course, we will review everything we’ve learned over the past few days, address any remaining questions, and taste the recipes we’ve worked on throughout the week, now prepared as finished dishes. We will discuss the results as a group, and finally, we will present the certificates.

Testimonials
Ana Izquierdo Biologist and professor | Madrid, Spain | @borntotangle
Professionalism, good work, teamwork, knowledge based on the long experience and trajectory with the B·Concept, humility and transformation of the complex into easy during the explanations, all this is what I have experienced during these days! I have seen and experienced a parallelism between the process experienced during the course, plus the teachings and the treatment received by the whole team, and especially by Jordi. As it happens with yoga; we must trust in the process. The first day Jordi told us that "everything seemed a lot, but with the days it would be better". Indeed! It all comes down to trust. Thank you for developing and teaching the B·Concept method because a "plan B" in baking is possible. It has been a great help, especially all the knowledge gained to formulate recipes that are going to help me enjoy baking while keeping my histamine intolerance in good shape. Thanks to the whole team!
Yi-Ting Huang Pastry chef and R&D and nutrition specialist | Paris, France | @eatingglab
This course delves into the theory behind the ingredients we use in pastry how to find the perfect balance in recipes. It’s packed with theoretical knowledge combined with hands-on experiments. It’s so interesting to taste healthier, lighter desserts! This is a very inspiring course that can change the way you view each recipe, and it’s a training program that every pastry chef should take. I had a great time and learned so much.
Tommas Van Rossum pastry instructor pastry Summa Brood & Banket | Eindhoven, Netherlands | @tommasvrossum
From the first moment I entered the school until the last day I left, I was impressed by the knowledge that was there. Understanding the theoretical knowledge can be difficult at first, but when given the practical interpretation of the different topics, the pieces of the puzzle fit together seamlessly. The lessons on gelatins, creams, mousses and, ultimately, recipe testing, provide a lot of insight into the B·Concept method. This concept is very well thought out to work for a better world, both for the planet and for the customers.I will certainly take this new knowledge back to the classroom to pass on to future pastry chefs and make them aware of the current choices they are making.Thanks again to Jordi and the team for these 4 days, I am still amazed at the possibilities and the flavor profiles. Maybe the T concept will be born hahaha See you soon team!
Diana Bulanova Cake artist | Bristol, United Kingdom | @dia_patisserie
Hi! Thanks to this course I came to understand how to adjust and create my own recipes, improve existing ones and learn more about pastry techniques. Everything was so well explained, with examples, and Jordi shared a lot of valuable and high quality information, from the material presented, to the food and drinks. I think the B·Concept method is fantastic, and will help me experiment with my recipes. A special thanks to Jordi for being "down to earth" and communicating to all course members on the same level - it feels good to be part of such an experience! The team is amazing, helpful and attentive. Everything during the course was absolutely amazing and very well planned. This course is useful for both an amateur pastry chef working at home, as well as for any professional. thank you for this amazing experience!
Marcel Chatenet Pastry Chef at Maison Chatenet | Bangkok, Thailand | @maisonchatenetbkk
I learned and trained in French cuisine and pastry. However, respectful of this long tradition, I felt the need to go further. This search was completed by approaching another vision: the B·Concept method. This course taught by Jordi Bordas is a real revelation for me. That of a healthier pastry, reduced in sugar and animal fat, and tastier. The techniques and ingredients that Jordi introduces open up a huge horizon for us. Now it is up to us to give free rein to our creativity. I have been a previous student of the Extended Online B·Concept Pastry Course and I recommend doing this training before or after to complement the classroom course of initiation to the formulation of recipes.
Daniela Popova Pastry Chef | Sofia, Bulgaria | @dali.popova
Dear Jordi and Team, it has been an incredible experience! Thank you very much for the hospitality and for creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I am more than impressed with the quality of the information provided in the course, the amount of work that went into the development of the course, the materials delivered during the training and the attention to every detail from everyone on the team. I highly recommend both the online and extended B·Concept Course and the classroom course to anyone who wants to be in control of their pastry work. It has been a revolutionary training that opens up endless possibilities to formulate healthier, lighter and tastier recipes. thank you very much!
