Sally Schneider is the founder of The Improvised Life, a lifestyle blog that inspires you to devise, invent, create, make it up as you go along, from design and cooking to cultivating the creative spirit. It's been called a "zeitgeist-perfect website." She is a regular contributor to public radio's The Splendid Table and the author of the best-selling cookbooks The Improvisational Cook and A New Way to Cook, which was recently named one of the best books of the decade by The Guardian. She has won numerous awards, including four James Beard awards, for her books and magazine writing.

Sally has worked as a journalist, editor, stylist, lecturer, restaurant chef, teacher, and small-space consultant, and once wrangled 600 live snails for the photographer Irving Penn. Her varied work has been the laboratory for the themes she writes and lectures about: improvising as an essential operating principle; cultivating resourcefulness and your inner artist; design, style, and food; and anything that is cost-effective, resourceful, and outside the box.

Recipe: Chocolate Malted Pudding

By Sally Schneider

Nov 18 2010, 6:45 AM ET Comment



This pudding is intensely chocolaty and denser than classic pudding due to the addition of semi-sweet chocolate; it has a surprising undercurrent of malted milk.

Leave out the malted milk, and you have an essential chocolate pudding that can be flavored in endless ways: with ground Mexican cinnamon or black pepper; with orange or tangerine zest; sweet, smoky paprika; a few drops of Cognac or Grand Marnier or a splash of Kahlua.... A tablespoon or two of rendered bacon fat stirred in to taste will give a subtle and compelling hint of smoky pig.
