My Paris Kitchen: Recipes and Stories
By David Lebovitz
Ten Speed Press - 2014
Very nice and easy to make. Buckwheat crepes were made ahead, and the assembly was quick. I made mine vegetarian omitting the ham and using some pre cooked veggies from the garden with the cheese and egg topping. Next time I would fold the sides up after just a couple of minutes while they are still flexible. I used regular buckwheat and liked the taste of the crepes. Will definitely make again.

Made the crepes without the seaweed butter. Very easy, good taste. Added 1 tbsp olive oil to the batter, made as regular crepes in the blender. These can also be made without the blender as the author states. One hour of resting the batter is enough for the water to be absorbed. The small amount of oil helps them not to stick.

Egyptian Spiced Nut Mix (Dukkah) : page 81
Easy to make and good. Used it on grains and lentils as well as egg dishes. I used my spice grinder to do the peppercorns and corriander seeds and put everything else in the large food processor, and that worked well. I definitely cut back a little on the salt. I didn't have hazelnuts so used cashews and almond for the nuts and sunflower for the seeds. Worked great!
