Product Description

Whether it's chocolate pudding, Indian pudding, or bread pudding, these soothing classics are simple to make, delicious, and unfailingly comforting. And not the least of the appeal of puddings is that they make inventive use of humble staples like eggs, bread, and milk. Marie Simmons has brought together 40 favorites, ranging from homey desserts like Malted Milk Chocolate Pudding and Apple Butter Spiced Bread Pudding with Spiced Apple Sauce to sumptuously sophisticated Fig Panna Cotta and Orange Spice Creme Caramel. Simmons also includes savory puddings that may be served as main dishes or side dishes, like Corn Pudding, Onion Custards, and Noodle Pudding with Mushrooms, Onions, and Spinach. Illustrated with calligraphy and color photographs throughout, this is the perfect gift book for any cook's stocking as well as a welcome addition to the home cookbook shelf.

Good Things Come in Small Packages
This is a very good "little" book. Both savory and sweet puddings & custards are covered as well as flans and a few mousse recipes. Complimenting sauce recipes are also included. Fresh fruit is required in many of the recipes which could mean a special trip to the store but it's worth it. The Savory Corn Pudding is excellent served as a side to sauted chicken breast. I recommend this book for anyone looking for something different in the way of a side dish or a light dessert.

I've owned this little book for several years and highly recommend it. Like most cookbooks I tweak the ingredients and while I won't try every recipe, the ones I do use are very good. The Malted Milk Chocolate Pudding has become legendary in my family. Once you own this book, you'll laugh at all the little boxes of "pudding" in the grocery store. Buy it!
