To care, to love and to live

La dolce vita, or the sweet life – this is a phrase that Josef Maršálek embodies perfectly. At a young age, he worked his way up to join the confectionery elite, and in search of the most delicious flavours, he travelled a good part of the world. How did he get to bake for the Queen of England or Elton John? Why did he start his own chain of patisseries in India, of all places? And what brought him back home? In this autobiography filled with original recipes and photographs, you will find out from the master pastry chef himself.
