Description

Like a rich plum pudding, Pudding: A Global History is bursting with choice morsels. From cookbooks and family recipes to novels, poems, songs and cartoons, it tells the story of puddings and how they developed from early savoury, sausage-like mixtures to today's sweet and sticky confections. Tracing the development of a range of puddings and explaining how advances in kitchen equipment have changed them over time, award-winning author Jeri Quinzio describes the many ways cooks from around the world have made them, from black pudding to the festive Christmas pudding. Whether you make them or just indulge in them; whether your interest is history, culture or cooking; whether your favourite is Yorkshire pudding or rice pudding: if you love a good story and a good pudding, this book is for you.
