Can anyone tell me exactly what it is and/or lead me to a good recipe for it? Wed Jun 29 11:09:40 -0700 2005 0 wyf4lyf 1 1474521 Nigella has a recipe that is online for 'Easy Sticky Toffee Pudding' - it's from her 'Nigella Bites' book (which I love): http://www.styleathome.com/StyleAtHome/client/en/Entertaining/DetailRecipe.asp?idRe=3523&idSm=325 I've never made it, but it's on my list. Looks fantastic. You can get dark Muscovado sugar at some specialty shops or online. (I suppose you could use dark brown sugar instead, but I wouldn't - muscovado is so much darker and richer) Wed Jun 29 11:27:53 -0700 2005 1474514 0 krissywats 2 1474526 "You can get dark Muscovado sugar at some specialty shops or online.

It was based, I believe, on the 'original' (supposedly) by Francis Coulson (he was mentioned in Simon Majundar's response to your query on the int'l boad). My guess is you would have to pay for it, but you could query for it on the NYT site. If I had a copy, i would post it, but I don't. Just remember reading the recipe with interest. They specifically said that the dates are the key ingredient. Smokey Wed Jun 29 11:42:46 -0700 2005 1474514 0 smokey 2 1474548 It's a pudding/cake base made with dates topped with a brown sugar/butter sauce. MMmmmm. It's really sweet and rich, but that has never been a problem for me. i used to make it quite often and linked to the recipe I used below. I don't use the water bath and it turns out just fine. I can't remember if I adjusted the cooking time or temperature, so maybe you should just use the recipe as it. It's pretty easy and verrrrrrry decadent.

If it doesn't work, you can get to Delia at www.deliaonline.com. I think the Epicurious recipe looks easier. :-) Link: http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/r_0000000804.asp Wed Jun 29 15:28:22 -0700 2005 1474514 0 zuriga 1 1474619 Thanks so much.
