It's the chandeleur once again ! How do you eat your pancakes ? With syrup on it ? Or you just have a bit in a bowl on the side for each bite ?

Anyway, syrup or nor, Geraldine and Mona sure love their pancakes !

Bonne chandeleur !!!

Probably Léon's favourite celebration ^^

I don't know if it's a famous feast outside France, but every 2 february, we celebrate the end of winter with a special recipe ! It's also a christian festivity (but to be honest, in my family, it's mostly the occasion to make and eat a ton of crêpes !!! XD). It takes its name from the word "chandelle" when the church decided to appropriate this roman/pagan feast. It's a candle that you were supposed to light in all of your house during the cooking and the night.

There is also a tradition to flip the crêpe in the pan with your right hand, while taking a gold coin in the other hand. If it flip right, it's a sign of good luck for the all year ! But I personnally never succeed to flip a crêpe sooo... Bad luck for me I guess ?... X)

Anyway, I'm just happy to eat all the food I want for the weekend X) What's your favourite flavour ? Mine is the crêpe Suzette ^^

Candlemas Day ✨

The Feast of Candlemas

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!
