Gold at the 2010 Pastry World Cup
Mario Ragona tenaciously pursued his dream of becoming a pastry chef: years of work that paid off, taking him to the top of international pastry and to the role of Coordinator of the Basic Professional Pastry Course at Scuola Tessieri. His record includes many international titles, among them the gold medal at the Pastry World Cup in Luxembourg in 2010 and the title of Italian Pastry Champion at the Internazionali d’Italia 2012. His main specialisations are individual desserts, breakfast viennoiserie and sugar and chocolate work. “I have always believed that pastry is not an ordinary trade; working in a pastry kitchen is not a fashion show among ingredients or colleagues. Pastry is love, passion and dedication. If you look at pastry and see only a white jacket without understanding its value, then you have understood everything. Everything you need to change sector!”
