The name says it all - its delicious! The zest provided a very subtle flavour & odour. I served it warm with frozen yogurt. I have a problem with the ingredient quantities listed. I used 1/2 a fairly large bakery type raisin loaf (also added a handful of raisins) & scaled the rest of the ingredients in half - it filled an 8 x 11 baking dish that I'm certain would give 8 servings. It required 45 minutes in the oven. Thanx Ellie!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
