  1. I picked this recipe for a dinner party for its simpleness and the fact it could be made ahead. It was well received but for my tastes it was bland and not very sophistacated in taste. Of course every cook will add his/her own spin. I would recommend this recipe as a quick recipe when you need to use what you have..but would advise a differnt recipe for fancier affairs.
     
  2. This bread pudding was fabulous - I made it for Thanksgiving and all 10 of us thought it was the highlight (and the rest of the food was great too!). Wonderfully chocolately and supremely comforting. I will definately be making this again. I used Giardhelli chocolate.
