Iberian Flan
The Portuguese and Spaniards were great travelers, and by the 16th century had discovered and colonized many parts of the New World. Their arrival in Canada is much more recent, which explains why one of their favourite desserts, "flan", is better known to us by its French name "crème caramel". Under either name you'll find this recipe light and delicious, and easy to prepare too.
