@eyeswoon: What’s on the menu for Calderone Christmas dessert!? Well, this year I’m revisiting a recipe that just barely missed the final cut for my cookbook, Cook Beautiful — STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING! It all traces back to where this journey began for me: falling in love with Brooklyn restaurants, getting obsessed with a dish, then going home to try to recreate it. About 13 years ago, I had my very first sticky toffee pudding that @caranicoletti developed for @colonienyc in Brooklyn and was completely hooked. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, I had another one at Borgo and fell for it all over again. I asked Andrew Tarlow—who comes from that same Brooklyn restaurant era I was so infatuated with—for the recipe, which he graciously shared. This version is a little bit of Andrew’s and a little bit of the recipe I developed for Cook Beautiful years ago. The cake is decadent, moist and the crème fraîche on top gives it that tangy balance. Basically everything you want a holiday dessert to be. Recipe’s at the link in bio!
