Screen Doors and Sweet Tea by Martha Hall Foose has recently become my favorite cookbook. Not only is it great fun to read, with all sorts of stories, tips, and asides, but the recipes are outstanding. Last night I made her Banana Pudding with great results. Here's the recipe.
This is a "custom-made' birthday cake. The cake base is a layer of crushed oreo cookies. The filling is just a mixture of fresh mangoes, passion fruits and non-fat yogurt. I had to add some gelatin powder to help it set. The cake is topped with chunks of mangoes, strawberries and blueberries. A rather odd combination, but, it tastes really refreshing, full of fruity flavours...sweet, juicy, with a slight tang. Our family of four wolfed down the entire cake in one setting (^o^)

Today I remembered I had raisin bread in the freezer. I looked up bread pudding on the internet. I chose Thomas Jefferson`s favorite, with a few variations. I added pecans. The topping is whipped non-fat milk
Fancy desserts are all well and good, but I like a good homey dish like a good bread pudding, too.
As with the cheesecake, I was shooting to take advantage of the light in my dining room. Natural window light on the left, with a white reflector right to fill a bit.

Ingredients
4 c. stale Portuguese sweet bread, cut into cubes and dried in a warm oven
15 oz. pumpkin puree
2 c. milk
4 eggs
1 c. light brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbl. bourbon
butter
6 oz. white chocolate (I used chunks chopped from a bar)
1/2 c. slivered almonds
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Butter the bottom and sides of a 2 qt. casserole (or a 9"x13" pan).
Combine the pumpkin puree, milk, sugar eggs, brown sugar, spices, and bourbon, and whisk to combine. Fold in the bread cubes, white chocolate, and all but 1 tbl. of the slivered almonds, and put into the casserole. Let sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the bread time to absorb the liquid.
Bake 40-45 minutes, until set. About 10 minutes before done baking, sprinkle on the reserved almonds.
I served this with some salted duck fat caramel sauce.
If you can’t find Portuguese Sweet Bread, a good challah works well, although you might want to up the sugar quantity by another 1/4 c. or so.

Really simple, really clear in terms of flavor (all vanilla) and really comforting. I might try it again in a few months, and lighten the pudding by mixing in some whipped cream before layering.
