Spicy Corn Pudding
"This is a very easy to make side dish which we love for the contrasting flavors coming from the sweetness of the corn and the spiciness of the pepper and blue cheese. Lovely with grilled meats, but also garlicy main dishes."

This has to be the best corn pudding I have had to date. I loved the flavour of the blue cheese coming through together with the heat of the chilli but they did not overpower the sweetness of the corn. I particularly liked leaving some of the corn whole which gave the dish a lovely crunch. -
Delicious! We all loved this, and with just a hint of spice and blue cheese it made for a memorable, easy side dish. Thanks so much for posting!

I am an American married to a Belgian, and have lived in Belgium since December 1999. Cooking is my major hobby. I'm also an avid reader, but I have difficulty finding the time. I love to travel. Since moving to Europe I've been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to go a couple of times per year to Paris, as well as having visited London, Rome, Florence, Naples, Amsterdam, and of course Brussels and Antwerp. I've seen at least parts of most regions of France, as well as parts of Germany, Austria, a great deal of Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Luxembourg, and Monaco. I'm absolutely in love with the Bay of Naples and Sorrento coast areas of Italy, which my husband and I recently re-visited on a trip that included Rome, Puglia, Umbria and Marche. I'm still looking forward to Ireland, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic . . . the list is too long ! One of the bonuses of travel is getting to taste the local cuisine, and afterward trying to figure out how to duplicate it at home.
I think cooking is one of the nicest things a person can do for someone they love (including themself!)
I had to submit a picture with me and my cat, Sophie, as she insists on sitting in my lap when I'm sitting at the computer. If you are wondering what all that stuff hanging on the wall behind us in the photo is, it is just a small part of my husband's military medal collection. He was appalled by my posting this picture-- Our study is the messiest room in our house (thank god!)
