I am going to try doing that tomorrow with some crepes and see how it works out for me. <br /><br />A decade ago I had seen "egg roll" vendors in Calcutta, India do it like that, but it didn't occur to me that it would work on the crepe too. Those street vendors in Calcutta had an impeccable sense of timing, when I tried that at home, I made a god awful mess. <br /><br />BTW -Chef John - I want to thank you, I followed your recipe for crepes today and it worked superbly. <br /><br />My wife's 98 year old grandmother is in hospital recovering from a hip fracture and she hates the food there. I made her crepe today like you showed on youtube and I filled with strawberry , bananas and cream cheese, and she loved it! <br /><br />It has been a pretty sucky Christmas for her and the crepe perked her up quite a bit. <br /><br />Thanks again... your website is awesome and so are you. <br /><br />Happy New Year dude. <br /> <br />ps. I too wish one could go out and get crepes on the street corner like that. <br /><br />pps. In my mind - I live in Paris with the words of Peter Sarsted's song "where do you go to my lovely" playing in the background. It usually makes the morning pilgrimage to BK to get their bk wrap tolerable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-82368646481102415512011-10-20T22:43:40.148-04:002011-10-20T22:43:40.148-04:00That looks so good all I wanna do is sit down at a...That looks so good all I wanna do is sit down at a restaurant booth seating and eating all those crepes.Brett Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391749303098140147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-77759815005977877832011-05-23T16:04:03.078-04:002011-05-23T16:04:03.078-04:00I'm so with you on that!

Yep, we created them, and we are proud of it!<br />Originally the "Crepes Bretonnes", as they are called, are always sweet, made from white wheat flour. You can add sugar, jam, ice cream, chocolate, anything sweet that you like.<br />The salty ones, made with black wheat flour (farine de ble noir), are called "Galettes Bretonnes". Yeah, we also created those :) You can add ham, cheese, egg, sausage... well, basically anything you like as well. They are easy to recognize because their color is brown, not yellow.<br />Well, I guess that's it for now. I will go on and check more recipes ;)<br />Have a nice day!!!<br />WilliamWilliam Doublethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734640104420852395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-23670030827958276882010-06-16T21:05:06.002-04:002010-06-16T21:05:06.002-04:00Holy Crepe!

What I miss from every one of those countries are the sidewalk food vendors like this. Now I live in Minneapolis. While I like the cold (I call it "free air-conditioning") and it's a very diverse place, we don't have vendors like this.

If anyone is interested in French (specifically French Alps) recipes, I experiment cooking at home (in the French Alps) and video tape my experiments. If they work, I put the recipes and videos on my blog. These are usually recipes that you can't find in English cookbooks since there isn't an English cookbook on Savoie (Savoy) regional recipes in print that I've found.

We have crepes practically every day after class (because they're practically the cheapest thing you can get and great on a cold winters day). It's true that if you want fatty food, the only places you can go in Paris are Anglosaxon places, like English/American/Canadian pubs, or American fast food joints.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10484139811534164061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-54799061827238130372008-06-16T08:11:00.000-04:002008-06-16T08:11:00.000-04:00There's a little cafe fast-food-like Crepe restaur...There's a little cafe fast-food-like Crepe restaurant at Pier 39 in San Francisco...MMMM...can pick your filling, from savory to dessert. They even have a Nutella crepe lol, my son picked that once. I tend to go for the type in this video, or chicken, & mushroom, etc. Looks tasty :). Crepes was one of the first meals I learned to make while young, I took french in high school and a French student stayed with us for a summer. They are quite easy to make, don't really need a crepe maker but that does look fun!!! I have a small crepe maker but it's the dipping kind ;). Sorry, crepes make me wordy! And I keep hoping the crepe place in SF will become a chain!jitterbughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16901845167939141376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-60614615494813988732008-06-15T05:52:00.000-04:002008-06-15T05:52:00.000-04:00Nice video...And by their accents I'd say they're ...Nice video...And by their accents I'd say they're from Colombia.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606232262030648116noreply@blogger.com
