Shrove Tuesday came and went. What stayed is my memory of one of my favourite desserts: Crêpes Suzette. I know, I know! I missed the pancake day with this recipe.

Being domesticated by my British wife I had my fair share of usual suspects: fry up, bacon sandwich or drop scones. However , whilst I really like bacon or drop scones, sometimes…
