/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Pastry chef here. I'd say a majority of the desserts I make (and enjoy) have French origins. Usually when I think of American desserts I think of brownies and cookies and other shit your grandma would make. America did invent the chiffon and angel food cake though, but recently Asia took the chiffon and invented the butter chiffon which I think is much better than the original American version. However, when it comes to more modern desserts, I think American fine dining is pretty high up on the list.
