ManchesterChef: Sticky Toffee Pudding recipe by James Martin (2024)

There’s pudding, and there’s pudding. And if you’re going to indulge, you might as well make it the most grin-inducingly sweet one you can get your paws on.

Sticky toffee pudding has its origins in the north west of England, and we can’t get enough of it. And when James Martin does a version, you just know it’s going to be spectacular.

You can whip up this versionof the recipe in the comfort of your own home, for the ultimate treat. Comforting, warming and jaw-droppingly treacly, it’s like Bonfire Night on a plate. Just add ice cream.
