`This dessert is great for the holidays because it's so
delicious, it's ridiculous," said John Terczak. "It's cheap, easy to
make and you can do it ahead of time. It doesn't require special
ingredients. It's very home style, an elevated version of usually
heavy bread pudding, with a crisp top and souffle-like center."
After one bite (and another, and another . . .) of bread and
butter pudding cake with caramel sauce, it's easy to catch Terczak's
enthusiasm.
With the mastery of a culinary alchemist, Terczak, executive
chef of Biggs, 1150 N. Dearborn, transforms ordinary supermarket
sandwich bread into a dessert worthy of the finest dinner party.
