Crepes - Martha Holmberg

Martha Holmberg is uniquely equipped to bring crpes into the home kitchen. Trained at the renowned La Varenne cooking school, she has been a food writer, editor and cook in the United States, England and France for the past two decades. Her lifelong love of this favourite food is apparent throughout this collection of 50 sweet and savory recipes, ranging from the simple and snacky Butter-Sugar-Lemon of her teenage years to the crepe cakes and cannelloni of an accomplished cook. Her encouraging instructions and master formulas produce beautiful crepes and tempting sauces and fillings that pay homage to the classics while also playing with ambitious and fascinating flavour combinations and ingredients.

Martha Holmberg is the former publisher and editor of Fine Cooking magazine, the founding editor of MIX magazine and the former food editor of the Oregonian newspaper. She is also the author of Puff , a Julia Child Award-finalist cookbook. James Baigrie is a San Francisco-based photographer specialising in food, interiors and travel.
