    Thanks so much for letting us into your kitchen to watch you make such an awesome dessert. I have been looking for a great "caramel pudding cake" recipe (as I called it as a child, growing up in N.S.) for quite a while now. It's hard to believe that such simple ingredients can result in such a wonderful dish. I can't wait to try your recipe. By the way - you're a great teacher. Janice M (Ohio, USA)
