Cuisine: Crêpes

Crêpes Suzette

The other night I told my husband that I wanted something sweet. We didn't have anything, so he said he would make me Crêpes Suzette. I told him that was too much work, but he insisted.

Crêpes Suzette is something you have at a fancy restaurant tableside where it's theatrically flambéed. This recipe is from Jacques Pépin who prepares it mostly in advance when entertaining. He flambés the liquor in front of his dinner guests and pours it over the platter of crêpes while still flaming.

Buckwheat Crêpe with Goat Cheese, Honey and Arugula Salad

My friend Barbara told me about this restaurant called La Mercerie Café at the Guild in Soho. There is also an incredible shop inside the restaurant selling exquisite furniture and tableware. Anyway, I ordered this Buckwheat Crêpe with Goat Cheese, Honey and Arugula Salad. It actually had Spinach inside, which I didn't like so I left it out of this recipe.
