A delicious, mouth-watering collection of sweet treats from Britain’s’ favourite daytime TV chef Phil Vickery's Puddings

The British have long been known for traditional puddings, but over the years we have shied away from our heritage. In this book Michelin starred TV chef Phil Vickery makes no excuses for the richness and flavour of our celebrated British pudding. In here you'll find delicious puddings and desserts divided into chapters - led by ingredients: milk and cream puddings, chocolate desserts, poached fruit and compotes, ice creams and parfaits, pastries, pies and tarts, baked and steamed puddings and a chapter on quick desserts.

Each recipe has a short anecdotal description by Phil in which he describes how he adapted recipes such as his mum’s traditional Spotted Dick or created his own Artic Roll. You'll find his wife Fern Britton’s favourite dessert which he calls Fern's Queen of Puddings.
