Paul Hollywood Eats... - Season 2

Season 2

Mexico

Mexico is one of the most visited countries on earth, but what is less well known is the fact that it is also one of the greatest gastronomic destinations on the planet. Food is ingrained in every aspect of Mexican life and culture, and Paul Hollywood is off to explore the national obsession, with a grand tour of Mexican cuisine – and its many, many surprises - in a brand-new series, Paul Hollywood Eats Mexico.

Burritos, nachos, fajitas? Not Mexican, they were invented by the USA. The real Mexican culinary experience is a much broader, surprising and exciting proposition. This is the country that invented chocolate, still eats recipes from thousands of years ago and is home to the most dangerous fruit in the world. And, happily for Paul Hollywood, Mexicans also love a pastry, specifically Pan Dulce (literal translation: sweet breads), a style of baking that even Paul has never come across before. Mexico is the ideal destination for Britain's favourite baker to go on a culinary voyage of discovery and try his hand at some very specialised local challenges.
