We <3 Local Livestream: National Crepe Day Cook-along

Join us for a hands-on, cook-along crêpe class in honor of France's National Crêpe Day! Crêpes are a festive, fun-to-make dessert that can be dressed up with any number of toppings. In this livestream class, we will learn to make traditional sweet crêpes (crêpes sucrées) and the classic lemon syrup (sirop de citron) topping that is revered throughout France. We will also discuss fruit, chocolate and dairy topping options and creative ways to use crêpes to build other desserts. We will discuss the origins and customs around crêpe-making in Northwestern France and learn to make traditional Breton crêpes as they are still enjoyed in crêperies throughout Brittany today. We will also review the equipment needed for making authentic crêpes at home and practice some French baking terms as we work. An ingredient and equipment list will be sent prior to the class. Join us as we celebrate the 700+ year history of crêpe making and carry on the National Crêpe Day tradition!
