Abstract
Catering expert Cucina has made more than 1,000 family-sized Christmas puddings which will provide 10,000 portions of pudding for pupils, as well as full-sized Christmas puddings which are available for parents and staff to take home for their dinners.
The caterer has been selling fresh Christmas puddings which are made with the traditional sultanas, raisins and currants, but also include fresh apple and carrots and are accompanied with homemade Brandy butter.
Cucina's top chefs have developed the winning recipe which is being sold at all of Cucina's 28 restaurants.
Cucina executive head chef Ian Morgan said: "We've added a bag of lucky coins to the Christmas pudding this year for good luck for 2011, so not only is this probably the best Christmas pudding in the world it will bring you luck as well. "These traditional and delicious Christmas puddings continue to be popular on the Christmas party menus at our many restaurants."
