I love when ATK does more complex recipes, especially pastries. Shows that anyone can make an outstanding show-stopping dessert and have the confidence that the recipe is going to work. They can do it because they know exactly how each step should look! Thank you for making something that could be intimidating actually doable.

I made Paris-Brest at home with a friend a few years ago. I highly recommend doing it with a friend to share in the labor. Absolutely delicious!

Yeah, took the whole episode for one item. I hope the used the extra dough and cream to make a smaller one. Maybe with some strawberries.

I lived in France for about 9 months and LOVED these. I live in NYC/NJ and haven't been able to find any bakery or French restaurant that can make this anywhere near what they had in France. I think I'm going to have to try my hand at this.

I’m so excited to make this!! Excellent episode!!

I made this for Christmas a couple years back. Everyone loved it!

My friends think I'm possessed cooking these amazing recipes. I act like I've cooked like this all my life but it's from watching this channel. They make excuses to come for dinner, I love it.

Bravo Bridget!

What a beautiful dessert. You are so talented. Really enjoyed watching you make this.

This really isn't all that complicated. It's pretty much just following the technique that they lay out. There's no need for perfectly level layers or attempting to smooth fussy icing. Like cream puffs, it looks a lot more complicated and difficult than it is. I made one years ago for my mother-in-law's birthday, with fresh fruit along with the pastry cream and a drizzling of melted chocolate over all. Everyone loved it and it was a big hit! I didn't use the praline paste in my pastry cream but I've made praline for other deserts.

That looks so good!. Kind of long process, but worth it at the end. ATK makes fantastic recipes that are easy to make. They make current recipes better by tweaking it and make it easier to cook. Cooks Country also does a great job with recipes. I never miss an episode and DVR all of the shows. I was a terrible chef until I started watching these shows from the beginning many, many years ago. Great shows from PBS to which I donate to them.

OK I don't usually comment but this was an *excellent* episode. I'm an intermediate level home cook but always shy away from French pastry due to the intimidation factor. This actually makes a classic pastry look entirely doable and I think I'm going to try it. Two huge thumbs up for breaking down, ATK-style, a dessert I've always assumed would be too complex/difficult to tackle. Also just a little note regarding the glass receptacle on the burr grinder - some people (me included) actually look for glass rather than plastic components in the kitchen. It's more breakable obviously but for health reasons I'm moving away from plastic where possible. No one has to agree or do the same as me but just wanted to point out that glass, even if it's more breakable, isn't always a bad thing for all people. Again great ep, thank you!

Wow!!! You gals really hit it outta the park with such a sophisticated French pastry! Shoulda made a great cup of coffee with that using the grinder that won the best selection earlier. Oh this is what I will make for my son's birthday...he will love it! Last time we had Paris-Brest was in Quebec City many years ago...

Nobody has ever worked harder for a filling/icing. This is the apex of skill

I worked at a French restaurant and the baker made the most amazing, classic French desserts. None stays in my memory like the Paris-Brest. Perhaps a bit complicated for me, but I love watching Bridget make - and explain the many steps - this.

I am very glad new videos are back and everyone is doing well!!

Loved the new intro, and so happy to see new videos coming out!

I will never make this lol... But I sure loved watching you do it!! Really beautiful and I bet it's absolutely delicious!!!

This was my very fave dessert from culinary school! If someone made this for me, I would prob marry them. Well, I'll stay married to my baker hubby, but he doesn't really like making choux, he's a whiz at bread, but doesn't get how to not burn his choux on the stove lol. He prob would if I walked him through it again, but he has bad memories from exam day.

I don't think my uneducated American palate could appreciate the effort that goes into this. Unfortunately, I have a severe allergy to Hazelnuts so after the first crumb of Hazelnut, I would be off to the Hospital for a month of recovery. It looks fabulous though.

Other chefs say we need to add one egg at a time, mix, then add another and so on. Why do you add them all at once?

I have never had choux collapse completely while in the oven before, now I tried to make this two times and it was disastrous both times. I blamed it on opening the oven to take the small ring out, so for the second attempts I didn't bake them simultaneously. The small ring worked perfectly. The big ring collapsed after about 25 minutes in the oven, without any interaction from me other than me turning the heat down.

Can’t someone address this? My choux experience is limited to basic cream puffs & profiteroles. I wonder if more heat at the beginning of the bake would set the crust better?

I recently purchased a burr grinder, I went for a more midrange cost as the one recommended here was far to expensive for me to justify it (Canadian pricing that is). I'm happy with the one I chose. HOWEVER!! one thing I need to recommend and stress for all grinders. Being that it's winter, my climate is very dry.... Whenever I need to buy a new grinder, I will NOT buy one with a plastic hoper or catch. The STATIC charge created with grinding is a nightmare! It sends grounds everywhere!! It's an absolute mess... I've since learned a trick about stirring a few drops of water into the beans prior to grinding them and it has made a dramatic difference. But overall, I think glass or even maybe a metal material would be a better choice in the future. So buyer beware, considering how dry it is where you live and maybe look at glass as an alternative. Or you may be spending your mornings sweeping your kitchen and counters....

@danbev8542

Wow- another reason to choose glass. I was disappointed to hear Adam advocate plastic. Plastic is terrible on so many levels - 1. environmental is most important to me - plastic is a petroleum product and enormous warehouses full of plastic trash which can’t be used in any way (9% of your ‘recycled’ plastic is actually recycled), 2. Plastic scratches & looks terrible after a few washes, 3. The chemicals imparted to your food through gasses, or tiny bits scratched off. Come ON, ATK!

​@@TheGreektrojan Or one could just go with a $50 model that works just as well and use the $50-$90 you save to buy more delicious coffee. I own one of the "cheap" models they tested, have had it for 6 years, and it does a perfectly fine job of, wait for it... grinding coffee. I'd love to know exactly what they think the $100 "best buy" does SO much better than the $50 model that it's worth spending twice as much. But this is the typical ATK mentality: expensive is always better. Thing is, it's not. Not everyone wants to, or can, spend twice as much as they need to, and ATK doesn't really seem to get this. It's why I find all of their equipment and product reviews to be a total joke.

@@sandrah7512 Not sure the point you're trying to make. Which ones did they absolutely not recommend? The cheapest ones. Which got some level of recommendation? The most expensive. This is way all ATK reviews go. Expensive is always better, and the most expensive is almost always the "best". While I can't read the actual reviews because I don't subscribe (and why would I since I know which is going to be the "best" before I even watch), I'm sure they ding the cheaper models for not having conical burrs (which in their own testing made no appreciable difference in taste), fewer grind settings (ya just need 1 that works for you), or some other nonsense that ultimately makes little difference in the end result, that is, ground coffee that tastes good. If you can't taste the difference between coffee ground on a $130 grinder versus a $30 grinder, why spend $130? So you can thump your chest knowing you have the "best" one? It's ridiculous.
