Very good. However, it isn't necessary to spend 8 minutes waiting for ribbons to appear in the yolks. I did it for about 45 seconds and it came out just fine. Also, after tossing the strawberries with the sugar and lemon zest, I placed them cut-side-down in the tart dish I used and just poured the batter over them, as this is how I've always seen clafouti done and I think it looks less chaotic when served. It turned out fantastically. Thanks for posting.

I am a stay at home (or in the car:)) mom to two cute kids-ages 7 & 4-and one husband! He's pretty cute too....We live in Fullerton,California, which is also where I grew up. I love, love, love to cook, drink wine with friends, shop, travel, read magazines and collect cookbooks. I have zillions of them and love to sit on the couch with a good cookbook! I belong to a guild of Children's Hospital of Orange County(CHOC) and we recently just finished our own cookbook to raise funds for the hospital. I also enjoy shopping and selling on ebay-so many fun things to find out there! Thanks Liza at recipezaar (my college roomate) for leading me here.
