This is more delicious than the sum of its parts! It's a real traditional oldie. RETESTED ON 22 Oct 07: After reading the reviews, I have just made this again. I cut down a little on the sugar in the sauce (it was 5 oz originally), but it should actually be a sweet pudding!! The sauce was quite enough to moisten the entire pudding -- it should not be dripping with sauce, as you can see in the photographs. Do not serve immediately, but let it stand, keeping warm, to give the sauce a chance to…

A quick and absolutely delicious, decadent dessert that never fails to please!

Keep this recipe for cold days! Everone loves it, and in South Africa it is a traditional favourite. You must have this at hand, as it is easy and quick and a delight, served as is or with ice cream or custard. Please note that I did two step-by-step photographs, which you'll find if you click on "photos". One shows how to roll up the dough, and the 2nd what the pudding and sauce look like before going into the oven.

Plenty of us have heard something about Chakra meditation, but we don’t really know what it is. What are chakras? How do they affect your mind, body and soul? I asked the same questions. So w…

This recipe is from The Jubilee Happy Cooker, published in 1987 by the Union of Jewish Women in Durban, South Africa. It came to me by way of my friend Stephen and his mother, Lesley. The original recipes calls for a sauce made with 1 cup cream, 180 grams butter, 1 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup hot water.
