Butterscotch Nutella Bread Pudding by Danish Harraz

Many delegates of the recent Eat.Travel.Write 5, which was organised by UPEN Selangor, Klang Municipal Council (MPK) and Gaya Travel Magazine were put to shame by ten-year-old Danish Harraz.

The junior chef-cum-baker showed his prowess in the kitchen when he demonstrated how to bake Butterscotch Nutella Bread Pudding, a recipe that he improvised.

With the internet as his teacher, Danish is a precocious boy who is a self-taught and makes use of his skills to support various charities in his community.

We were in awe not only of his culinary skills and entrepreneurship but also his big heart! Check out this recipe for Butterscotch Nutella Bread Pudding from Danish.
