Sticky toffee pudding

Sticky toffee pudding

Sticky toffee pudding is a British dessert (or pudding) consisting of a moist sponge cake made with fine chopped dates and covered in a toffee sauce.

Origins

The dessert's origins are considered a "mystery" according to the gastronomic journal, "Saveur"; however, the dominant story is that Francis Coulson developed and served this dessert at his [http://www.sharrowbay.co.uk Sharrow Bay Country House Hotel] in the Lake District in 1960. Coulson's former protégé and chef, Juan Martin, has said that according to Coulson, the original concept for the dessert was derived from the South of England. Indeed this statement was backed up when the hotel researched the origins of sticky toffee pudding before the launch of its retail version. However, it has also been reported that the landlady of The Gait Inn, Millington, invented it in 1907 for sale in her pub.In any case, Coulson introduced and refined the dessert to the general public, making his recipe completely accessible to all those who asked.

A final story regarding the origins of the dessert involves The Udny Arms Hotel in Newburgh, Aberdeenshire. The hotel has claimed that it invented the pudding years earlier than anyone else has been serving it, and those living in the surrounding area cite the hotel as the birthplace of the dessert.
