Love clafoutis, which I think sounds especially tempting said in a Scottish accent! 😂 I read somewhere of Bretons making clafoutis "au pif" (following their noses) which means it's a very forgiving recipe. Definitely big dividends for little work!
I was just thinking of making a clafoutis after admiring the beautiful mounds of fresh cherries at the store, and now I have a recipe--and a little hint from my mom-in-law, Judy Graham! Such a fascinating post, Jolene. I knew little of Françoise Gilot’s life and work, but now I definitely want to read her book. 🍒
The photo with her and Picasso on the beach is so iconic, one of my favourites. I’ve travelled just to see Picasso’s masterpieces but I had no idea she was still alive. Now I really want to read her book! Thank you for sharing such a great post.
This was so interesting Jolene. I’m putting Françoise’s book on my list. Alas no cherries here. Perhaps I’ll make a pear clafoutis as a mid winter version.
Thank you so much for the discovery of Françoise Gilot! I can’t believe I knew nothing about her (then again art history tends to erase women). There’s so much criticism coming out these days on Picasso and it’s been fascinating to learn about his darker tendencies. Also, cherry clafoutis is one of my childhood dishes! 🍒
A lovely tribute, Jolene. Her book sounds like a great story. Will look for it. Cherries are in the markets here in Italy, too, and if I weren’t out of commission these next few weeks I’d be making this clafoutis.
A fascinating read this morning! I am going to read more about Francoise. Years ago I had a practicum student in my classroom whose name was "Paloma." She told me her father named her after Picasso's daughter! I'm glad cherry season is here!❤️

Great piece, Jolene. I highly recommend Arianna Huffington’s biography ‘Picasso creator and destroyer’ for more on this
I loved learning about Gilot! Such a fascinating woman. I haven't made it to the BK museum exhibit yet--thanks for the reminder!

What a glorious post, Jolene! I have always loved Picasso’s work. Thank you for celebrating this remarkable woman.

a remarkable life, departure and adieu - indeed!
A captivating story, Jolene. And thank you for introducing me to the sweet possibilities of clafoutis!

You are knocking it out the park, Jolene. 👏
May I say, what a delicious article, so rich in intrigue and mystery. Love this!

Fascinating. As usual. How did I not know she was married to Jonas Salk? And...I hope my DIL, Ruth Stroud, Ruthtalkdfood, will make your recipe.
