Shirley Brody of Portland, Oregon, writes: "We've enjoyed our evenings at Wildwood Restaurant here in Portland for many years. Chef and owner Cory Schreiber has created such a great space for the neighborhood. We would love to have his recipe for butterscotch pudding, which is served in a tall parfait glass. The dessert's sophisticated look matches its rich flavor."
