Sweet Vanilla Quiche

Another French recipe and again it's custardy like the last one. Originally, I set out to make a pie but then I came across this delicious looking, egg-and-milk sweet quiche and I simply couldn't resist.

Now, this was the first time I'd ever made a quiche so I wasn't entirely sure what to do. By the recipe, it seemed like a hybrid of a pie and a cheesecake. The quiche demanded a pie crust which is probably the easiest and most satisfying thing to make with your hands. Seriously, forget food processors and get personal with the dough (a trick that my mom taught me - get the sticky gobs of dough from your fingers with a butter knife). Anyway, since the dough needs to be refrigerated - from 2 hours to overnight - I suggest you plan baking this in advance.

Cherry Clafoutis

I've been waiting for about 9 months to publish this recipe. I made my first cherry clafoutis sometime in last September when I paid a really ridiculous price for 350 g of cherries. I cannot say that it wasn't worth it, the cherry clafoutis became one of my favourite quick and easy recipes and I've tried one earlier this year with strawberries and it was still pretty good. But nothing beats cherries and now we're practically in the middle of cherry season, their prices won't get any lower, so I suggest you grab them while you can and make a clafoutis.
