Published this autumn by Ducasse Edition, François Blanc's FLAN is a veritable bible for fans of this cult French pastry.

More than ever, flan is back in fashion in the hearts of sweet tooths and on the shelves of pastry shops. A true childhood pleasure for many, flan has nevertheless gone through a period of decline, labelled old-fashioned and out-of-date over the past decades, but also hijacked by industrialists and their 'flan powder'.

But now it's back, stronger than ever, and François Blanc didn't wait for this new trend to fall in love with this culinary French pastry. During his wanderings through the streets of the capital, this culinary journalist made it his mission to find the best flan in Paris.

And it's not one, but 51 flans that François Blanc unveils in his new cookbook, soberly named FLAN, published last autumn by Ducasse Edition.

From palace flans to neighborhood pastry shops, from the capital to regional favorites, from traditional flans to the craziest recipes, from classic creations to original variations, FLAN reveals the richness and astonishing diversity of the flan world .
