PAN DE BONIATO

PAN DE BONIATO

I was first introduced to this bread at Ms. Omayra’s farm in Soroa, Cuba. It was soooo delicious and she made it without any electricity so I tried to replicate it as best I could. This is my first attempt at figuring out the recipe and I did end up using some electricity. It’s a fire-roasted boniato bread wrapped in banana leaves with coconut, warm spices, and rum. Dense, moist, rich, and somewhere between banana bread and bread pudding if they had a baby…

STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING

STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING

I made this for the first time out of necessity. They discontinued Sticky Toffee Pudding Ice Cream years ago, which was my favorite ice cream flavor. Needless to say it was a very sad day when I came to the realization of this tragedy… If you pair this with a brown sugar flavored ice cream, its pretty much the same thing but better!
