But it tasted kind of awful. Recently I picked up Donna Hay's
Simple Essentials Fruit, and as I was glancing through the pictures (because they really are the best part of her books) a Plum and Chocolate Clafoutis bounced off the page at me. It looked delicious, and made me think why hadn't I thought of that? Well, I will tell you why-- it's gross! How could something so simple, with well-loved ingredients come out so wrong? So here is picture of my failed, too-dense, overly chocolaty, flat, mess of a dessert. Oh well, you win some, and clearly, you lose some.

So sad...bad flognard!
Ah yes, Donna Hay. She is one of my countrywomen so I should be nice, but amongst the collection of cookbooks which threaten to take over my house, I have about 6 of her books and am yet to try a recipe from them that actually works!! The pictures are indeed pretty, but every time I make one of her recipes I am sorely disappointed. It has reached the point where I've pretty much given up - perhaps we should stick to ogling the photos and take our recipe ideas from elsewhere!
