Butterscotch Budino - Italian Pudding - Food Wishes

I’m not a huge dessert guy, but I do have a soft spot for a nice pudding, and puddings don’t get any nicer than this incredible Butterscotch Budino. Speaking of soft spots, this stuff is rich, and addictive, so please enjoy in moderation.

I'm following Chef John quite some time and I think it's safe to say that Chef John is the Bob Ross of cooking.

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

In a way. Bob Ross said anyone can paint, but notice he didn't say anyone can paint WELL, or paint a masterpiece. He painted schlock while using an ASMR voice. They all look the same. But Chef John's recipes are masterpieces, classic and novel, that anyone can cook, and he shows you how. And they're a wide variety of dishes, some very famous, often a classic, different flavor profiles, textures, etc. that are all nourishing. None of them look alike. ;)

[@mahakali1810]

Totally agree. I follow him although I can't try 90% of his recipes because of my allergies... it's just relaxing to listen to him and watch the cooking process ❤

[@randyschwaggins]

Maybe even the David Attenborough of cooking!

[@seanonel]

Because after all, he is the Bob Ross of his culinary dross.

[@Ramsay2303]

I think u r absolutely right on this! I have so much fun making his recipes, he is one of a kind chef and one of the best! Thx Chef John!

[@tg360andbeyond]

A little over a year ago I went back to Michigan to visit my baby brother (48 at the time). He introduced me to Chef John, and I couldn't get that cadence out of my head. I've been hooked and watching nearly every day. Last month my brother unexpectedly passed away from a stroke. I like to think of Chef John being one of the many gifts my brother gave me in my lifetime. Thank you!

[@TryingtoFood]

who randomly got chef john recommended one day and has been watching ever since omg this is more likes than what i get in my videos 😂😂😲 thanks 😉

I love the way the light hits your kitchen. so unique. I notice it in all your vids. it must be on the north side

[@MaiseNow]

John, I only recently found your channel but I can't stop watching your videos! I'm a lifelong butterscotch fan, but it's becoming soooo hard to find. I'm dying to try this now. You're like the nice midwestern grandpa or uncle everyone should wish they had to encourage them to learn and try new things. I'm usually very nervous about cooking and honestly avoid recipes that call for caramelized sugar or anything you have to stir for a long time like that (rouxs fall in this category too). But your calm demeanor about it, and showing what things are supposed to look like at different stages really helps a lot. So, thank you for sharing your expertise with all of us, and thank you for unintentionally giving at least one person some more confidence when it comes to making things. :) Hope you're doing well.

[@daphnepearce9411]

I am so mesmerized right now...as I'm making Chef John's Almond Biscottis. A couple of weeks ago I made Chef John's Italian Creme topped with olive oil and flaky salt. Fantastic!

[@citizenY]

"An Italian dessert, not a French Dessert", we can do with some imperfection. "I am not a huge dessert guy"/"Salted Caramel is on of my favorite things ever". "The Ol' Tappa-tappa, Wrappa-wrappa". CHEF JOHN ALWAYS KEEPING ME ON MY MENTAL TOES, tHaNkA yOuAAAAHH!

[@moumous87]

I like how he says "Budino" 😊Sounds like the happiest kid ever!!!

Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Even if I don’t try the recipe each time, I always learn something new from your videos. Thank you Chef.

The splash of water was neither cold nor fresh... what is this stabbing feeling in my heart?

[@juliataylor4800]

@@cut-- It's a Chef John-ism. :) He always tells us to use "fresh, cold water" instead of just water, "freshly cracked black pepper" instead of just saying pepper, and if anything ever goes around the outside of anything, it's "around the outside, around the outside, around the outside."

[@dorothyyoung8231]

Boudin, the Cajun rice-based sausage, and budino come from the same root, and so does “pudding”.

[@savvysearch]

It’s not really Italian. But its a beautiful dessert none the less. It simply a pudding invented by a pastry chef at LA restaurant, Jar. And then she rebranded it to “budino” when she was hired at Pizzeria Mozza by Mario Batali and Nancy Silverton. After that, it took over menus across America.

[@jamesgragan8129]

I love you Chef John and I have made quite a few of your recipes, however, I’m going to make this with boxed pudding mix and say I made it from scratch and my family will never know the difference. Except for my son who is not old enough to drink and doesn’t know what rum taste like. But whatever, pudding that makes you feel fuzzy on the inside is never a bad idea.
