    Fantastic looking crepes. We haven't had crepes in a long time, so it might be time for us to reintroduce ourselves to them.

    I want to eat this so bad. But am no cook, Maria! Would not even try pretending... any thoughts where I might get this exact same one in London?

    Well, Prash, I've never been to London... but I'd definitely search in French style creperies. I'm sure you'll find something really tasty! Let me know how it goes!:-)
