5.0 out of 5 starsDelicious so far!
By Scott Warner on February 20, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Aside from the book being beautifully written and illustrated, the real test is in the recipes. I just got the book and have only made the basic crepe so far--and it was so delicious--the author's tip on using browned butter (and how to make it), as well as her detailed instructions on the special steps needed in properly concocting crepes (think letting the batter rest in the fridge overnight) helped me create truly delectable crepes with a sublime texture. And the author clearly explained how to freeze them for later. And they freeze and reheat beautifully. I can't wait to try more recipes from the book.

5.0 out of 5 starsTop marks to the author (and photographer) for putting together such a great book.
By Autamme_dot_com on December 18, 2012
Format: Hardcover
How can something so seemingly simple be so varied and tasty? Crepes is the subject of this book and our culinary wonder. In fact the crepe could be one of the definitions for the business term KISS (keep it simple and sweet) and the definition in turn could sum up crepes. Simple and sweet (unless you have a savoury one then it would be `Simple and Savoury'.
In this hardback book the author presents 50 savoury and sweet recipes, showing the true variety and real diversity of the humble crepe, whether served up with something on the side or served `solus'. Whether it is for breakfast, brunch, an afternoon snack or something later on at night, there invariably will be a crepe (of three) for you. Naturally these can be viewed as building blocks, where the limit is only your imagination and the contents of your food cupboard.
Beginning with a great overview to crepes, crepe making and the all important tools (don't worry, it isn't really that complex, but sometimes it can be very easy to make mistakes on things that are very easy to do!). There can also be many opinions about the definitive way to make something very simple. Some people will swear by certain ingredients above all others. At the end of the day, unless you have your own "winning recipe" and will just use this book for advanced enlightenment, you would not go wrong by following the author's basic recipes and graduate on to the more elaborate, advanced stuff (!) in due course.
From the get go it is clear that the author has put some thought into her recipes. It is not just add a dollop of jam or cream and maybe a biscuit. The first savoury recipe is for `Pesto & Creme Fraiche Crepes with Arugula Salad". Rather posh, you might think, but it shows what a versatile thing the crepe can be.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsI am amazed by how quickly a light meal comes together when ...
By Frederick Rapp on January 1, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I am amazed by how quickly a light meal comes together when you start with pre-made crepes. When I take the batter out of the refrigerator after 8 hours, I make 2 or 3 crepes for immediate use with a prepared filling. After that meal, I make up the rest of the crepes, about 20 total, and store them in the fridge or freezer. This book by Martha Holmberg has provided several different batter recipes and then lays out 50 very different recipes for savory and sweet meals made from easily obtained ingredients. She gives detailed step-by-step instructions, many of which are shown with photographs. I reread portions of the book occasionally because Ms. Holmberg has provided an excellent reference covering everything I need to know about crepes. This book provides plenty of varied solutions for planning some very interesting dishes. I have one additional piece of advice:the author used a quarter of a cup of batter in an 8 inch crepe pan. Many people use a 9.5 inch pan and I seem to have better results by using a one-third cup of batter which is actually easier to flip with a table knife and produces a less fragile buckwheat crepe.

1.0 out of 5 starsA poorly conceived cookbook, sorely lacking in substance and organization
By Emma on September 28, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I thought this book was poorly organized and edited. The exact same comments on brown butter (among other things), occur in several places. The duplication is unnecessary. As a further example of the disorganization, almond brown butter crepes (technically sweet) come before savory, but then there's a section on sweet.
Aside from the organization,the author seems to be laboring under the misconception that a crepe is not a thing unto itself. For instance, there are moo shu pork crepes, lox, egg and onion crepes, profiterole crepes, butternut squash, stilton and hazelnut crepes but none of the classics I was looking for. Frankly, I don't understand the need to tamper or crepeify moo shu pork, lox eggs & onions or profiteroles. Bottom line, I found few of the recipes appealing. With the exception of about two, both classic french crepes, there are few I would ever choose to make.
Overall, it felt as if the author was appropriating fillings simply to fill space. Unfortunately, this came at the expense of the classic European and Asian street crepes that are the personification of crepe-making.

5.0 out of 5 starsexcellent
By uri remon on November 22, 2014
Format: Hardcover
I bought 4 books on crepes wishing to introduce these to my shop. the recipes are more advance than the other books on crepes and very imaginative but you need to have some experience with crepes to make full use of this book as the recipes are quite complex

5.0 out of 5 starsA simple crepe book that's all you need.
By Anycc on December 5, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Delicious crepe recipes for all kinds of fillings: sweet, savory, meat and veggie. There are limitless options for stuffing a crepe. This is a good book that goes over a lot of the classics but throws in some more creative options as well. The recipes for the crepes themselves and different ways to fold are simple and work well. Makes a very nice gift with a crepe pan.
