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!
So sad…bad flognard!
So sad…bad flognard!
So sad…bad flognard!
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!
