tastes like home: Pumpkin Pudding & Some News!

Okay, the news out of the way first.

I got word today from my publisher and it reads: "It hasn't even been a year since it was first published and already the best selling Tastes Like Home - My Caribbean Cookbook is going into its second print run!"

I'm thrilled at this news and I am also humbled by it. I want to thank all of you for your love and support. You helped to make this possible. Thank you. And I look forward to your continued support.

Now on to the food!

Pumpkin season is in full swing in these parts. Perhaps where you are too? Thick, rich, deep, orange-fleshed pumpkin can be seen at many stalls in the market. This versatile vegetable works well for both savoury and sweet preparations.

Serve this pudding with a Vanilla-Ginger Caramel sauce, and you will be swooning and licking your fork or spoon. And dare I say that you might be dragging your finger across the plate to pick up any remaining sauce? Of course you will do this discreetly when no one is watching.
