As a boy growing up in 70s England, Delia Smith and Mary Berry were two of my Mum's favourite authors. Their butter, sugar and suet packed cakes and puddings comforted families all over the country. Sadly for us foodies, the onset of the 80s health boom put paid to many of these classics.Too many of these wonderful puds are overlooked in a modern diet as being unhealthy, or simply too time consuming to prepare. But the key to enjoying such rich food is to eating them as a part of a balanced diet, and in moderation - as tempting as it may be that means not sitting down and eat in an entire bread and butter pushing in one go!Jenny has the ideal solution in her collection of comforting childhood classics. They are simple to follow, step by step guides, many with a little twist. Raspberry Whim Wham is the perfect choice for the clumsy cook, and Jam & Coconut Pudding, for me, brings back wonderful memories of primary school days.The perfect collection of retro puds - I love it!
