Jeri Quinzio

Took off half a star for the unnecessary comments about people who don't travel on trains don't get to say they love trains. Gatekeeping's not a great look, especially if you want people to read your book.

A short, readable history of pudding. Quinzio focuses on England, with occasional mentions of puddings from Scotland, France, the US, and other areas of the world. If you've read other food histories involving England, you'll know all of this already. If this is a new subject to you, however, it's a nice introduction. In addition to recipes, descriptions, and allusions from literature, there are also loads of color photographs of puddings and reproductions of cartoons and paintings.
