Review:
While I learned about crepes from my Canadian-French grandmother, most people have not, so the first chapter is really good at helping you to understand what goes into making a great crepe, including the technique that always works! Her troubleshooting tips are great for beginners! The second chapter discusses the difference in savory and sweet batters, and how you can alter them for different needs. It's really amazing, when you think that you usually have everything you need to make them, right in your cabinet- nothing special is need for basic crepes! It's how you fill them, that make them different!
From there you get into the 60 recipes. many of which will be new and unique to readers, as they take the batters and mix them up! We've really used crepes as dinner dishes, with different fillings and sauces, or as filled with fruits. The fun recipes, like key lime crepes and crepe cake are perfect for light summer desserts, which she gives you twists on traditional favs like Jalapeno Chicken (we usually use chicken, broccoli and cheese), make me want to get the crepe pan back out and serve them all the time, and you will too with this book!
Recipe:
These peach Cobble Crepes are a much lighter switch for a fav Summer dish. The best part is once you realize you can change out fillings, dessert can be a never ending delight!
