French pastry being cooked — and in Paris (7)
I believe the answer is:
beignet
'french pastry' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'being cooked and in paris' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'and in paris' becomes 'et' ('and' in French).
'being' is an anagram of 'beign'.
'beign'+'et'='BEIGNET'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for beignet that I've seen is " fried snack".)
