We’ve been on a crepes cooking safari since our very successful lesson at the Well Done Cooking Class. You might have read about these adventures already, but if not, click around below.
I made a colleague go to a crepes place for a lunch meeting, so I could explore some other options.
My second cousin showed his post-class crepes prowess in a video.
We’re crepe-happy!
The latest crepe creation came from my new fave cookbook, Sweet and Tart, a birthday present from my son. This is a fab cookbook, y’all.
It was a pineapple lemon crepe with a Limoncello-flavored filling, and quite awesome!
We tried this recipe at the Gumbo Cove test kitchen, with a few variations that we’ll document and share sometime soon. I did the crepes batter, the filling and the assembly, and The Grill-Meister did an awesome job of cooking the crepes. Alas, I didn’t ask him to flip a crepe like my second cousin Colin.
We’ve gotten good at crepes-making! These dessert crepes were truly delicious.
Our drink was inspired by the Limoncello-flavored custardy filling of the crepes. It was super-simple: one part Limoncello, 4 parts dry sparkling wine and a few raspberries. Yum! This drink was DELICIOUS with those dessert crepes!
More to come as we creep along our crepes journey!

They look so much more tasty in the “real” picture, and the drink sounds delicious too. You are living well!
Aw, thanks! And you’re right, not only is the real picture more, well, real, it was quicker! It took me maybe 3 minutes to set it up, 3 more minutes to take a bunch of shots and another three to pick a few, edit and crop. I ‘played’ with the software that generates images for about 30 minutes before I got a version that I liked even a little. But it was a learning experience.
And yes, we know we are living well. It is such a blessing to have weekends and kitchens to play in! And kind people like you who stop by to check out what’s going on in the Glover Gardens blog.
