He had last visited Budapest more than a decade ago, but recently he returned to host a two-day workshop at the METRO Gastro Academy. Tiziano Mita’s philosophy is that a dessert must evoke emotions and memories. The main theme of the current workshop was regional pastry specialities and using special spices. He introduced the traditional and modern pastries of his native Puglia region and how they use special spices in traditional desserts.

“The pastries weren’t over-complicated and the emphasis was on local ingredients, but of course the master’s hotel background was also evident. This workshop showed how important the use of different flours is for Italian masters. We learnt a lot from Tiziano and we saw many little tricks: a whole new world opened up to us, what he brought here is very different from the knowledge and skills of our previous partners”, told Balázs Erdélyi, president of the guild. //
