Crepes Suzette (classic French dessert)

One of the most iconic French desserts conjuring up images of the waiter preparing and flambeing the crepes at the restaurant table. This recipe can be made is stages (e.g. the crepe mixture and sauce the day before) and is quick to make.

Don’t forget to make sure you have something to ignite the brandy as we don’t tend to have matches or lighters always to hand these days!

Tartiflette – the classic French dish

This recipe is for the classic French Tartiflette and makes a generous 4 portions.

If you can’t get lardons, you can use unsmoked bacon, however, cheap bacon may release water in the pan and stew so I’d recommend getting something a bit better quality. Also, make sure the potatoes are fully cooked through before lining the dish.
