Last week I had the pleasure of attending The Ultimate Chef’s Table with Chef Curtis Stone food event put on by The Bay and Curtis Stone to promote his new line of cookware . At this event Curtis Stone showed off his new line of cookware by using it to cook his guests dinner. Of course all of the dishes that he made came straight from his most recent cookbook Relaxed Cooking with Curtis Stone: Recipes to Put You in My Favorite Mood and included a Tuna Ceviche, a Shrimp and Pesto Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes, a Fresh Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb and a Blueberry Clafoutis. The event took place at Dish cooking studio here in Toronto where it was set up such that all of the guests could sit at tables surrounding the cooking area and watch chef Stone prepare the meal.
I had a great time at The Ultimate Chef’s Table with Chef Curtis Stone! The food was really good and I got to meet a lot of interesting people including a few other Toronto food bloggers and Curtis Stone. Curtis Stone was really nice and did a great job of keeping his guests entertained while he cooked dinner. While cooking he also answered any questions that his guests had on any topic. I brought my camera and took some pictures which I uploaded to my flickr account here: The Ultimate Chef’s Table with Chef Curtis Stone Photo Set One of my favorite dishes from the meal was the dessert, the blueberry clafoutis, and I wanted to try making it at home. It is not quite blueberry season here but luckily the stores are currently filled with cheap California blueberries. A while ago I made and enjoyed a cherry clafoutis so I was looking forward to comparing the new recipe with it. Clafoutis commonly has an almond flavour and most recipes that I have seen just call for almond extract but this one uses toasted almond slices that are ground into a powder. This clafoutis was really easy to make; you just mix everything in a food processor and then bake it for a few minutes. I was just as pleased with the home cooked version of this blueberry clafoutis as I was with the one that chef Stone served. Blueberries work really well in clafoutis and I liked the bit of texture that the ground almonds added.
Blueberry Clafoutis
ingredients
- 3/4 cups almonds (sliced and toasted)
- 2/3 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cups blueberries
directions
- Place the toasted almond slices, sugar, flour and salt in a food processor and process until the almonds are finely ground.
- Add the eggs and pulse a few times.
- Add the heavy cream and blend until a smooth batter is formed.
- Cover and refrigerated the batter for 12 hours.
- Divide the blueberries between 6 greased 4 inch tartlet pans and pour the batter over them.
- Bake in a preheated 400F/200C oven until they start to set and the tops start to turn golden brown, about 12 minutes.
- Let cool and serve with blueberry fool.

Pat says
June 22, 2009 at 12:02 amThe first time I made a Clafoutis I thought, "how could anything so simple taste so good." But it is and it does. Soon will be blueberry season here in the Pacific Northwest and my next Clafoutis will be blueberry. Thanks for all your good recipe ideas!

Jo says
June 22, 2009 at 1:29 amHi Kevin,
Thanks for the email regarding the printable recipe link.. I appreciate you taking the time to point me in the right direction.
This clafoutis looks very inviting – do you think frozen blueberries would work just as good in the cooking.. not for the decoration?
I am glad you enjoyed your evening with Curtis Stone – another Aussie!! 🙂
Great post again….
SK says
June 22, 2009 at 1:38 amOoh, I love new cookbooks and the texture contrast between blueberries and almonds sounds wonderful!
jacquie says

A Feast for the Eyes says
June 22, 2009 at 1:40 amI'm not sure what to admire first– Chef Curtis Stone's hotness or the fabulous dishes. Great job on the photos, as always– and I've made up my mind to try making my first clafoutis. thanks!

Heidi Renee says
June 22, 2009 at 12:48 pmSobey's just had a cherry clafoutis recipe I just made, it was delish! Living in NB we will soon have tons of wild blueberries, will have to figure out the ratio as they are much smaller and could easily overpower the recipe, or they might add just the right amount of flavor as they are so tiny.
Grace says
June 22, 2009 at 1:08 pmah, blueberries suspended in mid-cake/custard. awesome. 🙂
CNY Kitchen Mama says
June 22, 2009 at 1:11 pmI'm going to make these TODAY!! I wonder what will happen if I don't refrigerate the batter for 12 hours?? We'll see.

AnnaZed says
June 23, 2009 at 3:13 amI have been having something of a blueberry love-fest recently. here in California they are fantastic. the first blueberry I ever remember tasting was at camp in Monterey, Tennessee in the 1950s. We had camped in tents away from the cabins and on a misty morning we picked the berries (placing them in tin buckets and eating a few as we did) to make pancakes. Nothing had ever tasted so fantastic to me. I still love them.

Erin says
June 23, 2009 at 3:20 amI could only wish to meet Curtis Stone. I secretly wish he would find me at my local market, come to my home and make a great dinner for my family! I can only imagine what sorts of wonderful you were able to enjoy at his event!
Maria says
June 23, 2009 at 3:27 amLooks like a fairly simple recipe–perfect summer dessert. Sounds like it was a fun event.
Christina says
June 23, 2009 at 3:43 amWell Kevin I haven't tried this before but, there's always a first. Sounds like your trip was lots of fun. Great giveaway too! I'll post about it on my blog.
Happy cooking,

Mary says
June 23, 2009 at 4:13 amI tried making this last year and it just didn't turn out. I'm going to try this recipe plus the cherry one (but with blueberries) to see if I like them more
Kim says
June 23, 2009 at 5:10 amWhat a terrific event and how exciting it must have been to be there. It looks like a great venue. Love the idea of blueberry clafoutis, never seen that one before : )

I love the idea of blueberry clafoutis!
Cynthia says

Jamie says
June 23, 2009 at 8:25 amWhat a fun event that was! And clafoutis is scrumptious and your blueberry clafoutis is beautiful! Blueberries are awfully expensive here, but for a gorgeous dessert, so worth it!
Bellini Valli says
June 23, 2009 at 9:22 amWhat a fantastic event Kevin. You were very fortunate to be be able to attend. We do not have Curtis on our stations here any longer sorry to say:D
Chris and Amy says

Sara @ Our Best Bites says
June 23, 2009 at 2:16 pmOkay so I tried making my first Clafoutis (which I had never even heard of before) a few weeks ago after seeing a recipe in (promise not to laugh??) a childrens magazine my TODDLER receives in the mail! It didn't turn out so hot and I'm pretty sure it's because the recipe was written for a 3 year old, haha. I'm definitely going to try this one now!
Fun giveaway too- how cool you got to meet Curtis Stone!
Sarah says
June 23, 2009 at 3:00 pmSounds like you had a lot of fun, and the blueberry clafoutis looks delicious!
Carol says
June 23, 2009 at 3:10 pmYour clafouti looks yummy, can't wait to try it! I made one once with cherries, but my recipe called for just milk, yours looks so much better! Sounds like you had fun!
Aggie says
June 23, 2009 at 3:15 pmI love any dessert featuring blueberries! What a fun dinner event to be a part of!
Heather says
June 23, 2009 at 6:04 pmLove this yummy yummy recipe! Thanks for the chance to win! Cross my fingers! LOL…Thank you!
Suzi says
June 23, 2009 at 6:28 pmReally enjoying your blog. I made the asparagus tart this past weekend for a father's day brunch. It was a real hit. I think the honey mustard sets this tart apart from some of the other tarts on the web. Curious if you had a hard time getting the clafoutis out of the individual pans? They look wonderful.
gee says
June 23, 2009 at 6:44 pmI just recently found your blog and I enjoy reading all of your yummy recipes. I even bookmarked it!

June 23, 2009 at 6:55 pmGosh, if only my husband had your cooking skills. =)
foodiejudie says
June 23, 2009 at 7:00 pmI am impressed with your cooking talent in a Closet Kitchen..imagine what you could do with a state of the art…stainless steel…6 burner Wolf range….(that would be my dream too)…Sounds like you had a wonderful time…

The Shillings says
June 24, 2009 at 1:52 amWow, what a great experience! LOVE all the blueberries this time of year. 🙂
Kevin says
June 24, 2009 at 2:51 amAnon: The almond flour should work fine as well.
Jo: Frozen blueberries should work just as well.
Sara: You could easily use a larger pan though you would need to increase the cooking time. Just keep an eye on it and when it gets nice and golden brown and starts to set it will be done.
Kevin says
June 24, 2009 at 2:54 amSuzi: The clafoutis came out fairly easily. I made sure that they were nice and greased ahead of time.
tamilyn says
June 24, 2009 at 3:12 amOh, my girls would be jealous! They think Curtis is HOT and want to know why he won't hang out in grocery stores here in Minnesota and come cook for us 🙂

CinnamonQuill says

Lisa says
June 24, 2009 at 9:04 pmJust gorgeous. I've made clafoutis with cherries, but never thought to try it with blueberries.
Kevin says
June 24, 2009 at 9:40 pmCinnamonQuill: I liked the texture that the ground toasted almonds added so I would use this recipe but it would be a toss up between the cherries and the blueberries.
Phoo-D says
