#galettes

Today, we are celebrating the end of the Festive Season with The Feast of Candlemas, a revelry of light in the middle of Winter. In France, where we call it Chandeleur, we flip crêpes --both savoury and sweet-- for the occasion, firmly holding a coin in one hand whilst thrusting the thin pancake in the air and catching it on its other side in the pan (it supposedly brings luck!) The merriment starts right there in the kitchen and continues in the plates as one can fill one's galettes and crêpes with anything one's heart wishes! Here are a few of my favourite, to serve with chilled Cider!
