Chocolate fudge pudding

This is indeed a real chocolate dream! The melting in the mouth chocolate sponge pudding will sit on your spoon while thick chocolate sauce oozes out before you tuck it into your mouth; sponge and choc sauce all in one gulp! And then, you will sigh in utter satisfaction that your chocolate fudge dream has come true!

No wonder this pudding was greatly favoured by the British Royalty! This supremely delicious pudding recipe is actually about a few simple ingredients put together in an ingenious way to produce a glorious dessert fit for the affluent aristocracy during the reign of Queen Victoria. I was lucky to have grabbed an ancient cookbook that belonged to the Victorian era with a collection of priceless recipes from an old book shop in the Oxford University area where nostalgic old-fashioned book shops are lined up the whole length of the street. This recipe was directly extracted from that journal.

Delicious in every mouthful, you can go for a second helping without a trace of guilt, for it has no heavy cream or a great amount of fat.  It’s incredible that the sticky chocolate sauce in this pudding is purely made with hot water but tastes heavenly!

So, let’s try making this yummy treat today and gobble it down like the Royalty!

This is indeed a seasonal delight! At the start of the Spring season when the cherry tomatoes are in abundance, is the best time to make this pickle! The speciality of this pickle is that it has no vinegar or a great volume of unhealthy oils.   It’s just natural and simple as it can be!  I am sure that you will love looking at your home-made tomato pickle jar as it sits prettily on your window sill, bathing in the warm glow of Spring sunshine! Once, the pickle is made, you must place the jar under sunlight for a couple of days. This will allow the tomatoes to wilt naturally and ferment with the juices and mustard oil. You need only a few ingredients as follows; Ripped juicy cherry tomatoes 8 Peeled garlic cloves 5 Green chilies slit in the middle 4 Chili powder 1/2 tsp Mustard powder 1/2 tsp Salt 1/4 tsp Turmeric 1/4 tsp Let’s make it: First, prepare the glass jar by washing it thoroughly and wipe until dry.
