The crepe-making bible! Step-by-step instructions, simple ingredients, and a bit of flair make this favorite food achievable for any home cook.

Crepes can be rustic or delicate, homey or elegant . . . and appear to require far more effort than they actually do. Marth Holmberg brings a modern perspective to this favorite food, with easy do-ahead tips (crepes freeze beautifully!) and fresh flavor combinations.

Holmberg is uniquely equipped to bring crêpes into the home kitchen. Trained at the renowned La Varenne cooking school, she has been a food writer, editor, and cook in the United States, England, and France for the past two decades. Her lifelong love of this favorite food is apparent throughout this collection of 50 sweet and savory recipes, ranging from the simple and snacky Butter-Sugar-Lemon of her teenage years to the crepe cakes and cannelloni of an accomplished cook.

Her encouraging instructions and master formulas produce beautiful crepes and tempting sauces and fillings that pay homage to the classics while also playing with ambitious and fascinating flavor combinations and ingredients. Six basic batters (including a versatile gluten-free option!) pair with gutsy savory and lovely sweet fillings that will inspire you to roll up some crepes any day of the week.
