Taste History: Bread Pudding and Pineapple Art-Making on Delray Beach and Boynton Beach Culinary Tour. Tour guests also met Top Chef finalist Lindsay Autry

Bread pudding at The Little House in Boynton Beach was a savory treat for the Taste History Culinary Tour.

Gourmet bread pudding at The Little House restaurant in Boynton Beach was marvelous comfort food for the Taste History Culinary Tour held on July 20, 2013. The bread pudding cuisine evolved during Medieval Times. It was created using leftover bread. Bread pudding then gained popularity in Great Britain and was known as the "poor man's" food. The resurgence of this old-age cuisine has inspired chefs to add a fancy element to this comfort food where now freshly baked breads are specially made for the dish.

There was also an infusion of art on the tour with a visit to the Art-Sea Living Gallery in Boynton Beach for a fun craft painting project of pineapple ceramic tiles. Other places visited for food tastings were Palermo's Bakery in Boynton Beach. In Delray Beach, Taste History traveled to Dee Dee's Conch & Rib Shack, the Sundy House, Scuola Vecchia Pizza e Vino and Le Macaron French Pastries. The following is the photo diary of the tour.
