Cravin ‘ Crepes

First made popular by the French, crepes were originally served on Candlemans Day (La Chandeleur) – a Christian Festival held to commemorate the purification of the Virgin Mary on February 2nd in France.  Soon recognized as simply, “Crepe Day” – this celebrated day in February referred to the tradition of offering and serving crepes. It was on this day that many also believed, if you could catch the crepe with a frying pan after tossing it in the air (with your left hand), while holding a piece of gold (on your right) you’d become rich that year.  If only this juggling act were that easy, or that true!

Imported flat round, cast-iron crepe griddles are used to prepare light flavourful crepes.  The people of France, especially those of Northwestern region of Brittany, have enjoyed crepes since the Middle Ages. Today, this thinly cooked, delicate pancake-like treat (savoury crepes are made from buckwheat flour; sweet crepes are made from wheat flour) is recognized and appreciated all over the world.  Whatever filling or topping you choose to accompany this little treat, it’s always a delight – whether for a meal or dessert!
