Guy Martin, of the fabulous Grand Véfour in Paris, shares this oh-so easy recipe for clafoutis. Clafoutis comes from the Occitan word clafotís, meaning filled, and first became popular in the 19th century. It’s delicious simplicity means it has never lost its appeal and it remains a winner right to this day. Guy Martin uses lovely, juicy Roussillon apricots so be sure to head to the local market and pick some up next time you’re visiting France. Or, if you can’t wait, any summery fruit, such as plums, or even autumnal beauties such as pears, will work just as well. Bon app’!
