The scientific approach to cooking may be of interest to some professionals but I cannot see this having a future in home cooking. Talking of home cooking, I am looking forward to some of your recipes. As SC demonstrates the powerful memories evoked by the smells and tastes of home cooking, perhaps I can manage to create some for my family and friends in the months to come.

The puds in question are an old english sort called Cumberland made with apples, currants and suet. You could give your currants a dip in something naughty if you wish, that or leave plain and drink the spirits instead! miles Cid,

Kindly give fair warning before the next temptation appears, towards the end of next week if possible ... should give me time to recover :) Cid p.s. should I be plumping up my sultanas before cooking begins? Miles,

One look at your puddings this morning has brought on an attack of the vapours, forcing me to loosen my corset at the mere thought!

Kindly give fair warning before the next temptation appears, towards the end of next week if possible … should give me time to recover :)

p.s. should I be plumping up my sultanas before cooking begins?

But, some things have stood the test of time for a reason - they work ! Some dishes may seem a little commonplace if put on the menu but cooked superbly with top notch ingredients they've got to be a hit DC I think you’re right, many chefs and the like are always looking for something new, which I understand …

Miles, When I think of puddings it brings back my memories of school dinners, which in all fairness in those days were not at all bad, basic but edible. I stuck with the school dinners mainly because I could not see the point of walking over a mile into town just for a bag of chips. Anyway in my later years I rarely eat such things as puddings ( must think of my waist), but I did enjoy them in my early school days, and on a good day you could get a second helping. Twenty-five to thirty years later in a restaurant and picking a desert-pudding from a menu, it would be a good old fashioned English pudding every time, some things are just meant to stand the test of time. Looking forward to the recipes, you may even inspire me to cook one “Just a Pudding With Plenty of custard”.
