Today, I want to share with you this classic Mauritian recipe, locally called poudine dipain, that is, bread pudding. This recipe actually goes a long long way back to when the few hard-earned rupees meant a lot to families, and as such they would not afford making wastage of food. And this is how they came up with this recipe using stale bread. Creative they were, weren't they? Of course, if you do not have stale bread, you can always use fresh bread but I prefer the former. Happy Bread Puddi-Ing! Equipment: Kitchen Scale Measuring Spoons Stove Pressure Cooking 6 x 2 inches round cake pan Aluminium foil or use a pan/bowl with a fitted lid Ingredients: 200g of bread 50g of sugar 1 tbsp of butter, softened 1 tsp of vanilla essence 150g of milk powder 50g of sugar [for the caramel] 1 tbsp of water Method: Allow the bread to soak in water for 30 minutes or until the bread completely absorbs the water. Extract the maximum of water from the bread and place in another bowl. Now, combine the bread, the milk, the vanilla essence and the sugar using your hands. Finally add the butter and mix well. Add the sugar and the water to the cake pan, simmer on low heat. When the sugar starts to coat the bottom of the pan and is brown, remove the pan from heat. Swirl the pan to coat the edges. Add the bread mixture to the cake pan. Cover the pan with aluminium foil or with a fitted lid if you have one. Place the pan in a pressure cooker, with water half-filled to the pan. Let cook for 50 to 60 minutes (long time eh?) or until a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool before removing the pan from the pressure cooker. Invert the pan onto a plate and cut in slices. Happy Eating! Optional: You can add 3 tbsp of sultanas [soak in water for 30 minutes prior to adding to the bread mixture] You can also add about 1/2 tsp of lemon zest/orange zest.

The only thing you need to cook in these recipes is the actual pasta itself! At this time of the year, we're all about recipes that require the most minimal amount cooking possible. Luckily, it's still possible to get a great meal on the table without having to cook much at all! In these recipes, the only thing you have to do is boil the pasta - which is always a worthy endeavor, no matter how hot it is - and then toss it with some no-cook pasta sauces that you can make in the time it takes for the pasta to finish. Throw on some extra goodies like cherry tomatoes, greens or a sprinkle of cheese, and bam - dinner is ready without breaking a sweat. No-Cook Pasta Sauces For Summer Giada's Creamy Pasta Salad This pasta salad is perfect for summer: you can make it ahead of time, serve it cold, and it goes so well with virtually any protein. The creamy quality reminds us of an old-school macaroni salad, but with fresh herbs and Italian flavors that take it to the next level. Sicilian Pesto This recipe has become a fast favorite among readers and our team alike - and with good reason! The fresh flavors of this cherry tomato pesto go so well on tons of different applications, from protein to veggies and of course - pasta. We love to toss it with some freshly torn mozzarella and basil. Orecchiette Pasta With Almond Pesto Pesto is one of our go-to sauces in the summer with just about everything! For this pasta, you can blend up the easy almond pesto and chop up a few cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella while the noodles boil. It's just as delicious served fresh and warm as it is cold on day 2! Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Olives We try to keep jars of green olives and sun-dried tomatoes on hand at all times for the purpose of making this pasta alone! Throw them in the food processor with garlic, basil, lemon and olive oil until it has that coarse, rustic-pesto type of consistency. It has a beautifully bright flavor and it's the perfect food for summer. Tip: it's delicious on crostini, too! Romesco Pasta Salad Think of Romesco as a more Spanish version of pesto - it's a bit smokier thanks to roasted bell peppers and paprika, but still has a really bright, sweet flavor as well. We love it in the form of a pasta salad with greens, cherry tomatoes and burrata - but you can put this delicious spread on anything from sandwiches to a great dip for raw veggies! Spaghettini With Checca Sauce Checca is one of the quintessential pasta sauces for summer - and there's all kinds of things you can do with it, too! This light and bright sauce is traditionally served with angel hair pasta or spaghettini, and sometimes Giada likes to throw in toasted pine nuts for an extra textural element.

I was paging through a new cookbook and came across a recipe that I wanted to make; it called for bagged broccoli slaw and I actually didn’t know what it even was. I had to Google it to learn it’s a package of grated broccoli stems, carrots, and sometimes cabbage.
