Cherry Clafouti
This is a particularly easy-to-make version of clafouti, which is basically a fruit pancake that is often served as a dessert in French bistros. Eaten warm it is comforting and delicious.
Black Sticky Rice Pudding
Years ago, when my husband, daughter and I traveled in Thailand, we became addicted to mangos and sticky rice, a truly delicious sweet. After our return, we tried but could never duplicate the superb taste and texture of the authentic version. Although this black sticky rice pudding is a different dish, it reminds me of that delightful concoction. In fact, it’s so good you don’t even need the fruit. Although it’s high in saturated fat, it comes from the coconut milk, which may have healthful benefits.

Caramelized Apple Upside Down Spice Cake
This old-fashioned favorite has terrific caramelized apple flavor, not only from the apples but also from the apple butter in the cake batter. It’s great for a potluck or a party because people can help themselves from a warm slow cooker. A big scoop of vanilla ice cream is the perfect finish.
Madame Saint-Ange’s Peruvian Cream
Published in 1927, La bonne cuisine de Madame E. Saint-Ange, which contains over 1,000 recipes, became a bible of cooking for French housewives and inspired culinary superstars such as Julia Child. Here I have adapted her variation of pots de crème, which contains the delectable combination of chocolate, coffee, caramel and vanilla. Serve this with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.

Sticky Rhubarb Bread
I just love the sticky rhubarb topping on this tasty bread. I like to serve it as a dessert, warm from the slow cooker, and plated with forks. Leftovers are great, but to get the full benefit of the rhubarb topping, I recommend that you warm it in the microwave.
