@sellersmike is it "debasing" if he's trying to teach and introduce people to it? and this guy's life is food. He's actually mad legit, really knows what he's talking about. He's a well known and respected writer and critic amongst the "food publishing" community. He's definitely not "devoid of passion"
He was so ho-hum about it all; totally devoid of passion. You don't have to debase a nation or its cuisine to make it appealing to americans; some of us americans are actually french.
Yes, clafoutis is with black cherries only and flaugnarde is with all the rest of fruit. I'm sure this recipe will taste good but unfortunately has little to do with Clafoutis which is made out of white bread soked in milk. Yolks, sugar, butter and almond powder are added and whisked up. Last, meringue is incorporated to soften the mixture which will be poured on top of the cherries.Batters are for pancakes...not for desserts from Limousin region in France.
. . . and it is not "fancy", it is a country dessert.

All the nasty comments prove the collective lack of a sense of humor.

Clafouti is fancy? The idea of pastry in America is perverted. And this man's accent is painful.
