  Comments by the chefs of the month

  « The Québec maritime team tested this recipe for you. Here are the cooks’ comments: The maple syrup pudding was easy to prepare. It’s a light-tasting dessert that’s perfect for people with a sweet tooth. If you don’t have any pastry flour, no problem—just use a whole cup of all-purpose flour. The maple syrup and coconut complement each other perfectly. Any kind of maple syrup can be used in this recipe, from light to dark. We topped this dessert with a few strawberries and whipped cream. Cost (before taxes): About $3 per person.  »
