I love pudding. It’s something I’ve always known I like, but it’s more of a love. All sorts, chocolate especially, but from tapioca to banana to flan and creme brulee. Just, yum. I maybe like it more than–get this: ice cream.
I also love great (simple) recipes. & more over, great recipe books that are a delight just to flip through & not on account of their beautiful photography, but on the rustic charm that adorns each page. Simple drawings & hand written directions make ANY recipe one worth taking a second look at. Plus, with no picture there’s always the thrill of seeing the final result & the curiosity of knowing whether it has turned out as it should. Obviously I have a cookbook in mind…
Having just re-seen Julie & Julia, I almost feel obligated to commit to this far-less involved & much simpler & more Lacey-style version of cooking in 1 year. Plus, there’s got to be like 1/8th as many recipes as Julia Child’s anthology…so. I have no more excuses. There will be list making & ingredient having until every last recipe has been tried. Should be good. This book is chock-full of wholesome goodness, down-home style, veggie needing concoctions that will broaden our favorite recipe list–no doubt. So, 1 recipe a week. That’s the goal, & a dessert. We’ll see–I may up the anty.
The bread-pudding was great. I used fresh blueberries instead of apples or dried fruit & would recommend cooking it until you are positive it is thoroughly cooked. Ours was a bit soggy, but much better with whipped cream (& cold, i’m a cold pudding type) & hot with ice cream would have been a treat… I’m going to share this one, but because I believe EVERYONE should have a copy anyway, just go order it if you want them all (& I think you do).

I'm a pudding girl myself. I used to be more of an ice cream girl, but pregnancy #1 killed that somehow. I have and LOVE that cookbook, but somehow haven't tried that recipe. Must add to the list to try soon! Yum!
other than tapioca (GROSS!) i'm a pudding gal. it was my move to england that opened up a world ofhot puds, like bread and butter. YUM
thanks for sharing this recipe.
Drat you. Now I have to go make this. I might even have a half-cup of blueberries on my bushes. I've always wanted to know more about this cookbook– you've piqued my interest.
Oh, my husband loves bread pudding – he remembers from his childhood – and I have been wanting to make it with the leftover bits of bread – thank you for the reminder and I even have that cookbook.
Warm wishes, Tonya
Oh I have never thought about this, especially since going GF. What a perfect way to enjoy bread once it has started to go. Thanks for the idea.
I've always heard good things about the Moosewood books. However, I had one of her other books (The Enchanted Broccoli Forest) and hated it. Not a single recipe I tried did I like. I finally gave it away last month after almost 6 years. I might have to give her other books a try after all, though.
oh anelle. that is funny!! Well, we'll see, but I haven't ever had something I didn't love. I guess we'll find out for sure!
Yum! That looks so good! Thank you for the recipe- I will definitely be making some soon 🙂
Blueberries in bread pudding! Oh man that looks good. I WILL try it! Thanks for sharing!
Mmmmm this looks so good! It reminds me of this other recipe I've been meaning to try:

wow! this is all so gorgeous!
the moosewood is one of my favorite cookbooks : )
That looks absolutely yummy! 🙂
This is uncanny…about 2 decades ago I was cooking from this book, and this bread pudding was one of our all time favorites…We like adding whatever wild berry we can gather in season. Chopped walnuts/ripe bananas/cinnamon is another favorite addition. I just started following your farm blog…you story is soooo similar to ours…hugs…
