Hattie McDaniel's Sweet Corn Pudding


"As for those grapefruit and buttermilk diets,
I'll take roast chicken and dumplings."

I do have Hattie's very own recipe for chicken and dumplings, but tonight it's sweet corn pudding. It's in the oven.

As per tradition, to mourn the end of a relationship I have scheduled in a private screening of Gone With The Wind. It seems sinful, particularly as it is a gloriously sunny Saturday afternoon and most of London will be cavorting in parks, swimming pools and pub gardens. But I am selfishly drinking myself stupid and wallowing in Scarlett's misery. Ha ha! There is no better cure for heartbreak than 4 hours of frocks, furbelows and flirting.

Can't wait to see Rhett at the bottom of those stairs...

Maybe I'm being dense but are the recipes posted?

No, you are not being dense at all!

Alas, our agent won't let us publish the recipes until the book is out.

Happy to email recipes to you though - drop me a line at silverscreensuppers@yahoo.co.uk and let me know which you fancy. Hattie's corn dish was quite frankly delicious!

Hope you enjoy the blog - Lya x
