"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Graham Birdsnest Pudding

 

Ingredients

1 apples
1 flour
1 cup milk, sour
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 tsp baking soda



 

Preparation

Lay in a deep dish, nice quartered apples, and pour over them a thin
batter made of flour, one teacup of sour milk, one-half cup of sugar
and about one third of a teaspoon of soda. Bake in a moderate oven
till the apples are thoroughly cooked.

Baked in the manner of a fruit cobbler, we assume this apple dish was
made with graham, or whole wheat flour, although white flour was
plentiful by 1861 and was preferred for dessert recipes. The quaint
name may have referred to its appearance and could have prompted
California Farmer to publish it.
