Why Crepe? French crepes are actually something that was celebrated every 2nd of February. It was a day where every French home would make a good dozen of lovely crepes to eat together. It was believed to be for the return of the light (spring is coming and no more long winter nights ahead) and it is called "La Chandeleur".

The crepes were the pride of the Britanny region (Bretagne) in the North West of France, where they make them extremely big and paper thin. They usually eat them with a bit of caster sugar spread on the top. It was then rolled in a big "cigar" or folded in four and eaten while drinking some bubbly apple cider of the same region.

Savored for centuries, crêpes are celebrating a revival today, with crêperies opening throughout France, North America, and Asia.
