My kids cook every Saturday to give Mum a day off. One cooks the main course and the other the dessert. It gets them into the kitchen and teaches them how to cook! And they love it. Check out the links for some excellent New Zealand food sites.

Chocolate clafoutis
A clafoutis "is a custard-like baked French dessert that is typically made by baking fresh fruit (traditionally cherries) and a batter, somewhat similar to pancake batter, in a baking dish."
This recipe could be made with something like plums but we left out the fruit.
50g plain flour
30g cocoa powder
75g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 cup cream
1 cup chopped dark chocolate (we use 70%)
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Sift the flour, cocoa and sugar and mix in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, stir the vanilla, cream and eggs.
Add the vanilla mixture to the flour mixture and stir through.
Add the chocolate.
Spoon into a baking dish and bake for around 25 minutes or until cooked.
