Sweet Devotion – A Contemporary Approach to Artisanal Viennoiserie
A celebration of buttery lightness and artisanal mastery, Sweet Devotion by renowned pastry chef Daniel Álvarez redefines the way we understand viennoiserie. With over 600 photos and in-depth step-by-step techniques, Álvarez brings a contemporary and soulful touch to Europe’s most iconic pastries—panettones, croissants, millefeuilles, palmeras, ensaimadas, and more.
Far from a simple recipe book, Sweet Devotion is an ode to precision, patience, and the art of working with dough. Learn how to perfect glutinous mesh in brioche, create the ideal puff pastry, and master fermentation—all while honoring the Mediterranean flavors that define Álvarez’s craft.

  • Recipes for croissants, palmeras, millefeuilles, kouglofs, panettones, ensaimadas, and more
