Book description
Originally published in 1862 as Everybody's Pudding Book, this
delightful period cookbook offers delicious, comforting Victorian
pudding recipes for the cold dark days of winter as well as the sunny
sunshine months. Accompanied by the author's no-nonsense and often
amusing advice on seasonal ingredients and the appropriateness of
puddings for certain occasions, this cookbook is as relevant today as it
was in the Victorian era. The recipes, organised by month, include
tarts, fools, fritters, pies and, of course, steamed puddings of every
kind. With favourites such as Bakewell tart and bread and butter
pudding, it also offers traditional recipes that have long deserved a
revival such as Shrewsbury pudding and Medlar tart. A Year of Victorian
Puddings is a complete collection of seasonal, traditional English
puddings for every day of the year.
