Okay, we’ll admit it: we are huge fans of James Gulliver Hancock. The guy is so creative and is such a great illustrator. We love every recipe he sends in, and this is no exception. We are so intrigued by his recipe for Xmas Pudding and equally intrigued by all of the awesome doodles and design elements. The instructions are all there: Follow the arrows. According to the artist, this is soaked in 1/4 cup of brandy, which equals “yummers.” No kidding. Have some fun on his site; it’s a treat, just like this recipe.
