Product Description
Product Description
Naughty? Yes, but oh so nice. The great British pudding is alive and well and this book demonstrates exactly why. The traditional pudding has evolved to become an integral part of Britain's culinary heritage. This collection of established favourites and little-known but great recipes traces the history of the pudding from the earliest medieval spiced jellies through the elaborate pies of the Elizabethans and Stuarts, the elegant syllabubs and custards of the Georgians, to the substantial puddings of the Victorians. All the best recipes that have stood the test of time are provided here with great photography. Indulge in 'tum-tickling puds' such as Roly-Poly pudding and Damson Cobbler or savour elegant and delicate dessert recipes like Marbled Rose Cream and Blackcurrant and mint fool. Bursting with delicious puddings, pies, tansies and tarts that have been served over the centuries, this book will tempt anyone who enjoys a healthy dose of great British puddings.

Format:Hardcover
I think this is an excellent addition to my (large!)collection of cookbooks. There are a very wide variety of recipes included - most contain dessert storecupboard staples (e.g honey, syrup, sugar, flour), so I can now whip up several puddings without trudging to my local supermarket for ingredients. The recipes vary in complexity but I can always find something that can be produced within a convenient time frame for the occasion.
There are some favourites included (the 'icky sticky toffee pudding' is to die for!) - I agree that several recipes are available in other cookbooks but one must appreciate that no two recipes for the same pudding are ever exactly the same & anyway this book brings them conveniently under one book. There are also very rare 'vintage' puds' included that without this volume would be lost in time.
Worth every penny.

I love this book, it's the best recipe book I own. I get excited every time one of these puddings is ready to eat. Every single recipe in this book tastes deliciously fabulous and is easy to make. The book has beautiful illustrations, clear instructions and even a little bit of history about the origins of each pudding. This is an absolute MUST!!!!

Rushed to buy this as soon as I became aware of it; It is so difficult to find the classics, oldies and particularly 'puddings' when you actually want a recipe even though you... Read more

For someone who has never made a pudding, or was brought up to only nibble vegetables, this book could be a useful introduction to the world of puddings, but experienced cooks... Read more
