“Often puddings are quick and easy to make and are a good way of using up leftovers.”
you are steaming a pudding, however greaseproof paper works just as well. Otherwise an oven-proof dish and a pas- try tin are also useful to make crumbles and tarts.
When it comes to recipes, there is one website dedicated to puddings called Great British Puddings (
www.greatbritish-
puddings.com) which has a wonderful array of recipes, some of them dating back to the 17th century such as: sago pudding, a lovely syllabub or, less appeal- ing, liver pudding which looks like a mix- ture of sweet and savoury ingredients ranging from cream, currants and sugar to breadcrumbs and chopped liver – it’s not a dish I’ll be rushing to make. The BBC Good Food site (
www.bbcgoodfood.com)
has a great range of puddings, which can be found under ‘traditional pudding recipes’ as do ‘olive’ and ‘Delicious’ web- sites. Or look for traditional cookery books and authors such as: Mary Berry, Delia Smith, Jamie Oliver, Leiths Baking Bible, Good Housekeeping and the Pudding Club has their own recipe book, too.
Of course, if cooking a pudding seems too much trouble and you simply want to taste some puddings without having to make them, most supermarkets stock a range of traditional puddings or you can head to the Pudding Club (www.pudding-
club.com), it is a great way to sample a range of puddings and it is a lovely excuse to visit the Cotswolds.
