I’ve seen many episodes of City Bakes. This LA episode is one of my favorites. Baked goods looked amazing including the gluten-free. The layer cake that Paul made at the end looked so moist & great choice covering it in coconut.

Not having been back to Los Angeles in over a decade, I missed out on Valerie's stay at the Grand Central Market (a building I have been in so many times I can't even guess ...). I saw those grapefruit segments on top of a cake and thought -- "The grapefruit cake from The Brown Derby? Can it be? I've READ about it ... but ... !" It was like looking out the window one morning and seeing a little triceratops rooting in my garden. I love her idea of "cake archaeology" -- probably because one of my prized recipes is the authentic one I found for my favorite salad dressing, the house dressing from "The Source" restaurant, which used to be on the Sunset Strip. Once upon a time "The Source" dressing was sold in grocery stores, a Cardini product. Then Cardini sold out to Marzetti, and "The Source" resurfaced under another generic name (like "lemon herb") for a while. Then >poof< it was gone altogether. Eventually I decided to stop fretting about no longer being able to buy "MY" salad dressing and searched online on the wild chance the recipe might be out there. It took a few tries, but I found it one night in a posted excerpt from a book! P.S. There's a little continuity problem when our host goes to West Hollywood looking for "Cake And Art", and all of a sudden, spliced into the scene-setting montage, there's a view of the Eastern Columbia building -- the green and blue and gold Art Deco architectural treasure in DOWNTOWN Los Angeles.

[@leilareggie1826]

L.A. is L.A, not the distinctive collective of little villages the neighborhoods are for people who travel. They do not differentiate local governmental designations. BH, Santa Monica or Downtown are just part of the L.A. landscape. Loved The Source salad dressing too. I grew up going to Grand Central regularly with my grandmother as a child.

[@faze_buendia9514]

I bought a package of Digestive cookies at the grocery store once about a year ago, and now they're a staple in our house. I love them, they are so good dunked in a cup of coffee, the sweet chocolate mixed w/ the bitterness in coffee is superb.

[@rumblefish9]

Best for dunking. I get the dark chocolate ones at Marks & Spencer in my country.

[@yasminscott5053]

It’s a Biscuit, not a cookie. They are good so are cookies but like he explained the difference between the two.

I love digestives, but never found them with chocolate. Have to go searching for them now. It’s hilarious to watch some of the baker’s faces when they see Paul taking over their kitchens. I wonder what the conversation was when they were scouting these places ahead of time and told them who and what Paul was like.

[@123Coffs]

I am from the UK and now live in America and the one thing that I have noticed with the American desserts/sweets is that they are just way too sweet. Sweetness on top of sweetness on top of sweetness. In the UK our sweets/desserts tend to be far less sweet, typically with a sweet element but also with less sweet parts to balance the dish out. For example, in America a cream eclair will have very sweet pastry and chocolate but also with very sweet cream. In the UK we would have very little sweetness in the pastry at all and only a very slight sweetness in the cream, with perhaps the chocolate being the "sweet" element. Its so much nicer to have the sweet/savory balance. That being said - America also does some of the best savory food in the world! Delicious :o)

[@jondoe2772]

Chewy cookies>>>"biscuits"

[@majestic6303]

Americans have a sweet tooth hence the weight

[@llm4187]

Well, lucky for you, you can go find a UK. bakery or any type of bakery representing your favorite country.

[@avocate2017]

The higher quality desserts/sweets in the U.S. are not too sweet. You should go to the places that sell organic desserts.

[@Thomas-vc3un]

Ditto just chocolates. The US ones are far too sweet. And he put chocolate on the digestives. I never liked that. My Mum used to melt awful "cheddar" on my Weetabix. Yuck.

[@tenniswerewolf8095]

Paris and Belgium are still the best episodes and I’m from Los Angeles. But I did enjoy this

[@lamuska24]

Alternative foods are easily achievable just by substituting the right ingredients. Back in 2012 me & my friend made the very innovative (at the time) raw cakes & chocolates for a Xmas Fair & people just couldn't believe that they were so delicious being sugar free, vegan and actually good for you! They went crazy and we ran out of every single confection in no time at all! It's great to experiment with new ingredients as the results can be astounding!

I grew up accompaning my Grandmother on her weekly GCM trips for cases of fruits, vegies, meats and cheeses for the ten or so she cooked for daily. One of my uncle's dropped us off on their way to work. Another came on their lunch hour to haul our six to eight cases and a dozen market bags home.

[@kimnguyen-lw7oj]

paul, you're such a Queen. i think you could be a little humble at time

[@theeddorian]

Paul might be surprised to learn that many doughnut shops do NOT consider themselves "bakeries," especially since most doughnut are fried. Late one night I was in a small dough shop in Northern California when when a "southron" looking type, over muscled, in white shorts and a t-shirt and probably high on cocaine walked in and demanded a cup cake. The poor counter woman was completely taken aback. She apologized, and trued to explain that the shop just sold doughnuts (very good doughnuts). The would be cupcake purchaser stomped away to a white convertible Corvette, snarling about "what kind of a bakery doesn't have cupcakes?" The counter woman watched him going and then looked at the rest of us in the shop and said, "but we're a doughnut shop!"

[@moomoopuppy508]

​@@paulhollywood8642 I'm Filipino and was surprised you used ube in your cake. Also, calamansi as an ingredient in pastry work Is not mentioned much. I personally hear it said in savory cooking, specifically only as something you squeeze on Pancit (Filipino bean thread noodles) It's good to hear it being used more. The trendy citrus you hear about is yuzu. Big fan!

[@faze_buendia9514]

I wonder how the names of things got so muddled crossing the pond. In the U.S., we call scones biscuits, and what the British call biscuits we call cookies. American pudding is more akin to British custard (except ours come in all flavors, not just vanilla, or eggs or milk, like custard often is) and we'd call British puds a cake.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

Pudding comes in different flavors in America too. Not just vanilla.

[@SilvaDreams]

Because the Brits over time have kept changing their minds on names of things while here in the US they just kind of stayed with the older names... Soccer and Football are a good and infamous example, Brits keyed the name soccer then changed it to football many years later while here in the US we kept the name.

[@faze_buendia9514]

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 that's exactly what I said, when I say 'ours' I mean American as I live in the U.S. I don't know much about British custard but like I previously stated, I've only ever seen it in vanilla, not like Ours which comes in all flavors.
