Hugh Jackman’s Favorite Foods
Jackman confesses that he’s always been a foodie. He said to Grub Street, “I don’t know if it’s cool or not, or trendy or whatever, but I’ve always been a foodie. I remember when I was young, the only thing I ever dreamed of — it wasn’t cars or houses or trips — the only thing I wanted money for was to be able to walk into any restaurant I wanted and order anything off the menu, without having to worry about it.”
He also admits that he can bake well, and loves bread in the morning. He would probably prefer to bake his favorite banana bread to accompany his morning coffee. This YouTube video shows Jackman baking the banana bread with businesswoman, writer, and television personality, Martha Stewart.
The actor also likes the taste of South Korean cuisine. His favorite dish is the ginger fried rice, a masterpiece of popular restaurateur, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and his wife, Marja. The couple presents South Korean cuisine on the television series, The Kimchi Chronicles.
How to Make the Bread and Butter Pudding
Many fans are sure to be thanking Jackman’s mom for the family recipe. The recipe requires six thin slices of brown bread spread with butter and orange marmalade. A handful of sultanas, and freshly grated nutmeg.
For the custard, you will need, one and half pints of whole milk, three level tablespoons of caster sugar, six eggs, and one teaspoon of vanilla extract.
You will also need an ovenproof dish. Quarter the slices of bread, layer the bread, butter, and sultanas in the dish. Beat the eggs and sugar together. Heat the milk and stir it into the egg mixture with the vanilla. Pour the custard over the bread and sultanas. Top with freshly grated nutmeg. Stand dish in a roasting pan of cold water. Bake at 320°F (160°C) for about an hour or until the custard is set. Serve warm.
Family recipes are a real treasure—especially if they come in a journal handwritten by your very own mother. The handwritten family recipe shared by Hugh Jackman is a definite treat for his fans.
