Have you ever had clafoutis? Although it sounds like it could be a curse word, clafoutis (or clafouti) is a rustic French dessert traditionally made with black cherries. I love learning about new foods and when I was asked about clafoutis I couldn’t resist but to try it myself. This recipe is great because even if you are not a regular baker you can’t get it wrong, (or maybe you can but you really shouldn’t). The ingredients are familiar, you don’t need any special equipment, and the prep and baking is over before you have time to get impatient.
Perhaps I should have saved this post for Valentine’s day since the colours scream Feb 14 but I wanted to share some love with you now. Love for food, love of others should be celebrated all year round anyway.
