I love to make crepes, and this book has given me more ideas on this fancy but simple food. The savory recipes look especially good.

I didn't like the recipies in this book. Was hoping for a more basic crepe recipe book I guess. Returned it.

[Nora · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought it was beautifully done & the recipes were very imaginative, but nothing that I can see myself ever using.
