my first clafoutis…..

Gosh I married a good man! After we saw Julie and Julia, my lovely husband thought he’d get me Mastering the Art of French Cooking for our wedding anniversary later this month! I am feeling very special as he got me both volumes and its win win since we’ll all be enjoying delicious french food…perhaps in moderation to ensure we don’t grow out of our clothes!


Yesterday afternoon I tried out my first recipe in the book…..clafoutis…..all you need is a jar of cherries, milk, sugar, flour, eggs and vanilla! The instructions were so straightforward, ingredients in cup and Tbsp measurements and it was soooo delicious….

afternoon tea today

So delicious that there isn’t much left……now the recipe called for granulated sugar to be dusted on top but I’m thinking icing sugar might look prettier next time.
