Cowgirl Chef: Crepes, Part I

October 8, 2009

There’s no shortage of creperies in Paris, as y’all know, but there are only a few places around here that really know how to make the thin French pancake right — supple, yet crispy around the edges.

I’ve been eating at Creperie de Josselin in Montparnasse for years — and know to show up early to avoid the daily lines, since it’s one of the most well-known creperies in town — and I recently asked Marie-Therese, the owner, if she’d give me a crepe-making lesson.

She was happy to oblige, as you’ll see, but she moves — and talks — so fast, I could hardly keep up with her. But I did learn the secret to her super-delish crepes.

Enjoy the show.

You are amazing!! I just discovered your blog and I love it! This is a great video.
Part of me is a cowgirl at heart. Grew up on Long Island, NY, currently live in Orange County, CA and I spend as much time as possible in Telluride, CO (where I pretend to be a cowgirl!)
The crepes look fabulous……how many egg yolks go into those things!
