Have you ever tasted a real homemade custard pudding? And no, we don’t mean the one that comes from a packet, but a beautiful, trembling cream dessert made the old fashioned way with eggs, sugar, milk and cream. In Quivering Desserts & Other Puddings you will find recipes for both classic puddings such as vanilla, almond, chocolate and wonderful contemporary versions such as salted caramel pudding with caramel popcorn and white chocolate pudding with jasmine tea. And much, much more. Sounds difficult? It is not. A real pudding just requires a little time at the stove and some hours in the refrigerator. And the reward - a quivering cream artwork that makes children quiver and adults sigh.
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.
