Budin Latino - Pumpkin Bread Pudding

“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 approach to recipes as a guide for personal expression is inspiring. using croissants instead of traditional bread and adding pumpkin is a creative twist on budin latino. the note about cooking with love and not measuring precisely resonates—it captures the spirit of home cooking. a lovely read that connects food with personal history and improvisation.
