Food for Thought - Book of Elsa

Food is much more than just fuel; we use it to celebrate all major life events. Sharing a table laden with delicious things is our way of showing how much we care about the people in our lives. Be it by baking cupcakes for a boyfriend or making your sisters' engagement party cake. Not only that but we also use food as a way of caring for those less able than ourselves such as the elderly and infants.
Therefore, with this in mind when I'm told to stop talking/writing about food all the time I know that I can never stop. It is much too important to all of us. Indeed much depends on dinner; in my opinion food and the preparation of food either alone or in a group is the most basic way of showing we care.
Happy Eating :)

Shrove Tuesday - Crêpes

Shrove Tuesday - Crêpes 

And so it goes, being a purist I like mine with lemon and granulated sugar but I dare you to try it with Nutella, if you must bring in to play jam then any will do but I insist on unsalted butter on the base first. Trust me it will change your life. I tend to make these not only on Shrove Tuesday but whenever I get home sick; I'm pretty sure 'maman, une crêpe' was my little sisters' first sentence. 
Makes 6 on a 20cm shallow pan with sloping sides.
