I have made one pudding so far (Bachelor's) and it was really good, but I had to go online to learn about all the different kinds of sugar (caster, demerara, etc) called for in the book. Maybe I'm just ignorant! I couldn't find them where I live, and I didn't want to order sugar online, so I ended up substituting brown sugar for the demerara and whirling granulated sugar in the food processor for the caster sugar. Turned out fine, but be prepared to be a little creative. (Also, clotted cream is not readily available where I live--not sure I would even try it if it were--so I used whipped cream. OK, I'm a crass Yank, I admit it). Additionally, for those who still resist getting a kitchen scale, like me, the measurements are only given in grams/ounces. There's a table in the front with rough translations of ounces to cups, but it's obviously not precise, and yes I do know that all flour is different and weighing it is the BEST way, but I'm too attached to my counter space, still.
