Simple and delicious Bread Pudding topped with a sweet Vanilla Bean Sauce.  The perfect dessert to serve at any occasion.Syllabub, Blackberry and Apple Crumble, Banoffee Pie or one of my favorites, Sticky Toffee Pudding are just some of the delicious British desserts that have been around for generations. I love British culture.  From the style, the traditions and of course the food, I love all things British.

 

Years ago I traveled to London.  I fell in love with the city and the culture.  I traveled there from Paris on the Chunnel.  I wandered the city, past Big Ben and Hyde Park.  Of course a trip to London wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Buckingham Palace.  I loved dining at little restaurants around town. It’s a beautiful city that I hope travel to again someday.
