Rediscover Rice Pudding

For most of us, rice pudding conjures up memories of childhood desserts where a parent would make a pot of rice pudding for after dinner or lunch. It was always warm, nourishing and sweet, a real treat. Hundreds of years ago, the ingredients for rice pudding were at a premium so kings and queens treated the dessert as a luxury item that was both posh and hard to come by. Nowadays, rice pudding has become commonplace and the memory of how coveted it once was faded. My hope is that with these 30 recipes you will once again become excited about rice pudding as our ancestors did and by adding once-exotic ingredients like coconut milk, cinnamon and brown sugar, you will begin to create amazing desserts.
