Earlier this week, I was asked to share one of my favourite recipes with Amore Bekker on her afternoon radio show “Tjailatyd” on RSG. The recipe I shared was for a French dessert called Clafoutis (pronounced Kla-foo-tee). It is a classic French dessert, similar to a crustless “Melk Tert”. It is quick, easy and simply delicious!

CULINARY TOUR TO FRANCE
It is probably not a good idea to goto France this month – with min/max temperatures of 2 °C/5 °C! So rather spoil the special person in your life with a trip to France in June! The itinerary of the tour has been chosen with great care and designed for people who love and appreciate good food, e.g. foodies. In his book “The Official Foodie Handbook”, Paul Levy defines a foodie as follows: “Foodies are people who are very, very, very interested in food. For them, the only activity that comes close to eating is talking about eating.” If you regard yourself as the latter, be sure to join us! While eating and drinking your way through France, you will also have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the history and culture of Normandy and visit some of the top sites and attractions in the region. We will also spend two full days in Paris, the city of love!
If you haven’t booked yet, be sure to do it as soon as possible. Or if you won’t be able to join us this time, but you know of someone who might be interested, please forward this e-mail to them. It might be just what they need!
A deposit of R3000.00 is payable upon booking on or before 18 February 2012. Couples and singletons welcome! Read more…
