    Cherry Clafouti...it's the pits!

    Clafouti (klah-foo-tee) is one of the world's great recipes for enjoying fresh cherries. This French favorite is a sort of baked custard, studded with fresh cherries, and scented with vanilla. It's the kind of dish that's impossible to become tired of, by virtue of the cherry's short season. Once a year, cherry clafouti comes into your life, like a friend with benefits, and for a few short weeks gives you great pleasure.

    The recipe is remarkably simple, and the first time you make it you'll stare in wonder as it puffs up from the sides of the baking dish. You'll also stare in wonder when you see me add the cherries without removing the pits. Traditionally, cherry clafouti is made using fruit that hasn’t been pitted. Clafouti aficionados claim (and I believe them) that as the cherries bake, the pits give off a sexy, sensual scent that is missing from the pitted version.

     

    For more info: This recipe is from my blog, Food Wishes Video Recipes. There you'll find the ingredient amounts, as well as more foodie fun.

    I've never understood the fear and mystery that surrounds this thin round of ground flour, milk, and egg. It's one of the first things you make in culinary school (that works), and probably the first French recipe one commits to memory. It does take... Read More

    My newly discovered foodie friend, Joy the Baker, claims this is her first podcast/video recipe. If that's the case, she's going to be a force to be reckoned with, as the production value, and presentation, are top-notch! I was going to show you my first... Read More
