Queen of puddings: Anna Jones Mother’s Day recipes | The modern cook
A chance discovery in a dusty loft inspires this week’s Mother’s Day recipes for a queen of puddings and a nostalgic citrussy compote to go with it
We recently discovered a notebook filled with my maternal grandma’s recipes in my mum’s loft.
I hadn’t realised quite how much I had longed for it; and I hadn’t thought we’d had many recipes passed down in my family. My memories of Grandma Catherine are from the years after her dementia took hold, so I never saw her cook. I just remember a kitchen cupboard full of jars of mint sauce – the result of muddled trips to the shops.
