Global Voices & a Delicious Recipe to prepare “Almond Bread Pudding with Eggnog”, YUM! 
Are you ready for another surprise? Well, I am pleased to announce, my dear readers and blogging friends, that I have been invited to write a weekly column about food blogs for Global Voices. Muchas gracias David!. I have been so excited about this project, that I didn't take long to produce my first report: "Cooking up the World". We invite you to stay tuned and subscribe to receive the weekly round -up that will be published every Saturday at the Global Voices blog.
Talking about great recipes, the one we are sharing with you today is a winner! Looking for other ways (other than drinking it!) to use the left over eggnog from this past holiday season, I decided to prepare a festive bread pudding. The texture of the final product is so delicate and delicious because I used an extra homemade "rosca" bread with almonds that I had also prepared for the holidays and was hidden in the freezer just in case of an emergency!
So, let´s get cooking in the most creative ways to use all the left over holiday bounty that still is in your possession...

Almond Bread Pudding with Eggnog:
Ingredients:
- 20 oz, approx. 10 cups 1-2 days old bread with almonds
- 6 oz golden raisins, approx. 1 cup
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 4 cups homemade eggnog (preferably made with dark Caribbean rum)
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon or lime peel
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- For the caramel: 8 oz, approx. 1 cup caster sugar
- Garnish: ground cinnamon, and whipped cream (optional)
Directions:
- Infuse the golden raisins in 1 cup of tea, water, or dark rum, for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F for 10 minutes.
- To make the caramel: place the sugar in a 10" round pan and melt under the broiler, or on the stove top. Rotate the mold until all the sugar is melted and the sides of the pan are coated with the golden caramel. If you prefer, you could use a 10-12" x 5" tall savarin mold.
- Cut the bread in small cubes. Put the bread cubes in the bowl of your mixer with the milk and eggnog and mix together. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix to a uniform batter. Fold the raisins into the mixture and pour into the prepared mold.
- Place the mold into a water bath (baño María) and bake for 1 hour or until firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and from the water bath. Allow the cake to to cool in the tin for 30 minutes, then turn out and cool on a serving plate. Store in the refrigerator. Serve warm or cold.
- To serve: sprinkle with ground cinnamon and serve with whipped cream.
Serves 12-15
Enjoy,
Melissa

Congratulations! We will all be looking forward to reading your contributions. I have a question about your wonderful looking dessert. We don’t usually do egg nog. Do you think I could successfully substitute a chai soymilk with the addition of some egg? Your recipe just sounds so good I wish I could think of a way to use it. Thanks.

Kelly: I know you are a GV fan!
Hi Fran, yes, you can substitute any kind of nut, soy milk, or other milk in this recipe. BUT, you will also have to add 1-1/2 cups caster sugar to the cake batter, before you add the eggs and grated lemon peel. Please let me know if you have other questions…
Hugs,

Melissa, I just saw the comment you left on Best of Blogs. You are so sweet. It’s a silly little award, but I feel so flattered. I don’t even know how I got nominated, but I suspect my brother might have nominated me. He’s so wonderful and supportive.

First of all, congratulations on your new column. I look forward to read it.
Unfortunately, I threw away my eggnog. Oh, man! I wish I’d seen this recipe before I’d done so. However it is good to know that I can use regular milk as you’ve stated to Fran, above with the changes. I will make a note of this.
Thanks, Melissa for all your great recipes and help.
Besos,
Paz

Melissa, I think it’s fabulous that you are doing articles for the Gilded Fork. Mark turned me on to their site and I try to read it as often as I can. You have done a great job in educating us on different foods that we may or may not have available here in the states. Keep up the great articles!
Are you coming to St Louis the the conference in August? Oh, great article in the PC magazine too. I sure was surprised to see your name in there. It was a thrill to know that I knew that person!

You are going to enjoy it.
KELLY: I would love to see a photo of your bread pudding looking all beautiful. I really love your work
VICKIE, glad you are back! I am trying to fit the conference in my schedule. I think I will go thou
