NEW ORLEANS-STYLE BREAD PUDDING



New Orleans-Style Bread Pudding image

From my favorite dessert cookbook: "Gooey Desserts-The Joy of Decadence" by Elaine Corn She states: My mother goes to conferences now and then with my father. When the men sequester themselves, she and some other spouses attend cooking classes. During one such confab in New Orleans, she took a class from Joe Cahn at the New Orleans School of Cooking, and brought home this incomparable recipe. My friend Kathleen, who is also my chief bread-pudding tester, warns anyone who has just partaken of this dessert to wait a while before driving. "God forbid you might have to take a Breathalyzer test! Whew!

BON TON CAFE (NEW ORLEANS) BREAD PUDDING



Bon Ton Cafe (New Orleans) Bread Pudding image

This is a recipe I got back in the 80's from the Bossier City (Louisiana)Police Dept cookbook. I have made it for years and everyone always loves it and request the recipe. It is a delicious old fashion bread pudding. The recipe notes that it was a favorite among the police chiefs at their convention in New Orleans.
