Cherry Clafoutis

I doubt if there is anyone who has not heard of Julia Child. Julia Child and her recipes are iconic to say the least. Known popularly from her PBS show 'The French Chef' and someone who demystified French Cooking and the cuisine, I have only seen her cook scrambled eggs in one of the episodes.
"You don't have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces - just good food from fresh ingredients." - Julia Child
