Whaou! Chocolate Fast Food Crepes
Lately, I've been seeing crêpes all over the place. At first, I thought I was imagining some sort of French oasis in the culinary desert of my daily life, but no, they're real. They are gossamer thin, chocolate stuffed, individually wrapped, 144 calories, 89¢, and actually made in France. In short, they are perfect. I put mine in the toaster oven to crisp up on low—the chocolate in the center melts, and it is positively unbeatable. No, they are not the fresh buckwheat beauties you find in Breton, but they are the perfect snack for the flight over. Let's hope the other flavors make their way over soon; Whaou! sells these crêpes in France in Chocolate, Cracky (crispies and...Vegan Crepes for Breakfast
Photograph from omadsa on Flickr I am not vegan, but would totally eat these.

If only food could prepare itself in real life...actually, that might be freaky. Watch the video, after the jump....La Chandeleur Et Crêpes
Bea of La Tartine Gourmand has a beautiful recipe for buckwheat herb galettes and mixed salad and a story about a festival that sounds right up my alley: "Earlier this month, I was reminded, once more too late, that on February 2nd, we celebrated la chandeleur. I wonder how comes that I simply can forget since it happens every year. In France, this originally Catholic festivity calls for cooks to prepare crêpes and beignets (doughnuts). Indeed, on the day of la chandeleur, the customs is to eat crêpes !"...LA Times Food Section Roundup: Crepes, Ice Cubes and a Chef's Conference
Regina Schrambling on the third Identità Golose, The taste of things to come: At a most unusual chefs' conference, great ideas trumped pomp and pretention: "There were chefs quoting Kandinsky and Lars von Trier as comfortably as they evoked Escoffier. There were chefs filling balloons with spices to pop over dinner plates, and chefs demonstrating how to flavor the bread crumbs so ubiquitous in Italian cooking with lime zest and syrup. They were using all the new-wave toys — agar-agar and sous vide and digital thermometers and no end of Pakojets — but they were also sharing discoveries as basic as this: Baking butternut squash or sweet onions on a bed of rock salt will concentrate the flavor and texture."...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
