The Pudding and Pastry Book by Elizabeth Douglas audiobook.

Genre: cooking

First published in 1903, The Pudding and Pastry Book is Elizabeth Douglas's practical, dessert-focused handbook for the home kitchen, offering clear instruction and a wide range of classic sweets. Douglas begins with a cook's-eye view of technique and preparation - measuring carefully, choosing suitable dishes, and working with heat, steam, and cold to get consistent results. From there, the book unfolds as a well-stocked repertoire: comforting milk puddings and custards, fruit-based dishes, light souffles, set creams and jellies, and chilled treats such as ices, alongside a substantial section devoted to pastry. You will find foundational guidance on keeping ingredients and hands cold, using minimal water, and avoiding overworking dough, plus dependable formulas for plain pastry, rich crusts, short crust, and puff pastry. Whether you are assembling a simple family pudding or planning tarts, tartlets, pies, and molded desserts for guests, Douglas's emphasis is on reliable methods that make old-fashioned favorites achievable. It is an inviting window into Edwardian-era cooking - and a usable collection for anyone who loves traditional puddings and crisp, well-made pastry.
