These tasty crepes were served for dessert and all of us were fighting over the last few bites. Chef Nizlek cooked the berries in a dreamy combination of butter, cinnamon and brandy – and it was truly fantastic. If you should attempt this recipe, be prepared to share it with others as soon as they see what you’ve got cookin’!
