The February holiday is continuing to be pleasant and relaxing. We cooked dinner for Heather and Ewan on Saturday night. The first couple of courses were old favourites but dessert was a new (and only semi-successful as it turned out) recipe. This was "Clafoutis" from one of my French cookbooks. It consists of cherries, soaked in brandy and then cooked in a flan dish in batter. The problem was that although the batter was cooked through, it was not firm enough and broke up a lot when we tried to slice it. This evening we reheated it and the texture was perfect. Luckily our guests know us well and are always very encouraging about our culinary efforts!
