Bread Pudding Recipe Exchange Week begins on May 1 and encourages people to exchange bread pudding recipes with friends and neighbors. The exchange can take place in person, by phone, or by email, and recipes may be sweet or savory.
According to CooksInfo, the earliest mention it located of a Bread Pudding Recipe Exchange holiday dates to 2001 in North Carolina. A later Nebraska column cited Chase’s Calendar of Events, which listed May 1–7 as National Bread Pudding Recipe Exchange Week and mentioned a now-defunct website that shared recipes from a bread pudding cookbook. Some recipe collectors have recorded who gave them each recipe and which recipe they exchanged in return.
