French cuisine has a special place in our hearts because my brother & his family currently reside in France. While various cultures have a version of the crepe, its name is of french origin, and they can be found throughout the country in "creperies," as a sit-down restaurant or walk-up street vendors. A simple but delectable treat is actually one of France's only form of "fast food." Simple: Thin pancake (key ingredients: flour, eggs, milk, butter, salt)
Delectable: Choose sweet or savory. Creatively combine variety of ingredients (ie. herbs, cheeses, meats, veggies, fruits).
Since October, 2012, Bethlehem has its own creperie. Located near
Lehigh University, it currently only has a walk-up window (no indoor seating), so be prepared to find a spot for a picnic or enjoy a crepe on a walk across the bridge to downtown Bethlehem. The hardest choice is sweet or savory. They offer a variety of options or have "Fill your own" for the adventurers. My mom, craving a crepe after her recent trip to France, and I
chose "The Kid" (spinach, tomato, caramelized onion, goat cheese with balsamic, added eggs for $1--total: $7) and a sweet crepe "The Bond Girl" (fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries with lemon curd finished with creme anglaise $8). Sizable, tasty & satisfying. Not the atmosphere of France & comfort of enjoying one with our family abroad--but a noteworthy addition to the LV & B.
