After living in France while raising my three children over the last 11 years, i've accumulated a lot of insider knowledge.Le Ménagier de Paris, “The Parisian Household” Book, is an anonymous French medieval guidebook from 1393, written in the voice of an elderly Parisian to his fifteen-year-old bride on how a woman should behave. It’s what you might call a medieval woman’s magazine, which contained fashion, gardening and housekeeping tips, poems, prayers, moral instruction, and various recipes.

Crêperies are typical in France, especially in Brittany; however, they can be found throughout France and many other countries. The sizes range from 3 inches to 7 inches and the wood is seasoned with mineral oil to protect from water damage. If your crepes turn out too crispy, then it is most likely you have cooked them in a pan that is too hot. Your pan should be over medium heat, and shouldn't be so hot that when you pour the batter into the pan it immediately sets up.
