Budin Latino - Pumpkin Bread Pudding

Chef's Tips
Dec 20, 2025
1 min read

“After improving this recipe, I started selling this in El Salvador to my friends and neighbours, motivating me to keep cooking and eventually learning savoury food,” says Chef Manuel Baharona of Calgary Meals on Wheels. Budin Latino is traditionally made with leftover bread mixed with custard and topped with bananas and raisins. But for Chef Manny, a recipe is a guide you can express yourself with, and in this case, he created Pumpkin Bread Pudding using croissants, and topped with caramel sauce. 

 

“Never cook angry,” he adds. “Follow your imagination and taste and be adventurous. When I started making this dish I never measured anything, I just sprinkled and added stuff until the spirit of love said, ‘That’s enough, Manny!’” Take a page from him and go for it – but now he advises writing down the changes you make along the way!

chef manny's story about adapting budin latino is a great reminder that recipes are starting points. using croissants and pumpkin is a clever twist. the advice to cook with feeling and write down your adjustments is practical for any home cook. it's a warm piece that connects food with personal memory and creativity.

Mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng شيخ روحاني thì thấy nhắc nên cũng tò mò mở ra xem thử cho biết. Mình không tìm hiểu sâu جلب الحبيب chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để quan sát bố cục جلب الحبيب cách sắp xếp شيخ روحاني các mục và trình bày nội شيخ روحاني dung tổng thể. Cảm giác là các phần được trình bày khá gọn, các Huren Berlin mục rõ ràng nên đọc lướt cũng không bị rối với mình như Hurentest Berlin vậy là đủ để nắm tin cơ bản rồi. جلب الحبيب

I keep coming back to scrandle because the results can be surprisingly hard to predict. A dish that looks like the obvious winner isn't always the choice I expect most people to make, which keeps the guesses interesting.
