Classic Conclusions

Season 1 Episode 9 | 25m 3s | CC

Crepes a la Confiture are a childhood favorite of many French people, including Jacques. Jacques quickly makes the crepe batter in the time that it takes to heat the pan. Then its Orange Souffle Crepes that are baked until puffy and a Baked Alaska that must be served straight from the oven because of the treat’s hidden frozen center. The last recipe is a delicious Apricot and Pistachio Souffle.
