Hailing from a fourth generation of pastry chefs and with an international career spanning Paris to London, Singapore to Venice, Andrea Tortora will be among the distinguished guests of Gastromasa 2025, taking place on November 6–7 at the Haliç Congress Center under the theme “Stories of 10 Years.”

Over time, Tortora has developed his own unique style in pastry, combining simplicity, elegance, and contemporary touches. His creations aim to transform dessert from being merely the final course into a complete experience in themselves. In his signature works, delicate aromas, refined aesthetics, and deep respect for the product stand out.
