What do a flan, flan mixto, quesillo, pudim, flan de café, rozata, flan de Cuba, purin, flan Napolitano and leche flan all have in common? In France they are all called a crème caramel. Or are versions of one.
Ruby Boukabou is an Australian tap dancer, author of guidebooks on Paris’ architecture and art as well as the proud daughter of French restaurant owner parents.
Today’s topic on Fabulously Delicious is one that Ruby is pretty much an expert on. Ruby’s mum used to make these delicious dishes every night for her father's restaurant. Ruby has a special treat for us, her mum's recipe. Also, she fills us in on the history of this dish and what its origin story is.
