Day One: Food from around the world challenge: France

Due to our love of baking and cooking, and the generally crappy weather of England (how can the temperature in England be lower now in Summer than now in New Zealand where it's winter!?) We decided a lazy week of food and watching My Kitchen Rules on TV (all those Australian accents!) was in order. We came up with the idea that doing food from a different country each night could be really fun and challenging, definitely lots of cuisines we have never done before! So I am afraid the next few posts will involve mainly food, and maybe a few outings! 

Our first challenge was making Crepes and Galettes Bretonnes (hoping I've spelled that correctly!) Basically, savory pancakes, which we filled with cheese and ham which turned out rather nicely, we also experimented with a mushroom and feta filling which tasted awesome.

We then had the crepes with lemon and sugar, and my favourite - homemade berry couli and whipped cream. Yum. We also had it with cider of course, but we only had a little bottle to share so finished the evening with a nice glass of red wine. Lovely!
