Prepare a traditional  buckwheat galettes crepes from Brittany under the guidance of anthropologist Anna Mays. 1.5 CEUS applied for.

Cook Along: Savory French Buckwheat Crepes with Anthropologist and Chef Anna MaysIn celebration of National Crêpe Day, Zoom in to learn to make traditional buckwheat crêpes with savory wintry fillings. A specialty of Brittany in northwestern France, the original galettes crêpes date back to the 13th century. Today buckwheat galettes and their myriad fillings are a popular (and gluten-free!) main course throughout France. In this cook-along class, we will learn the proper techniques for batter and filling preparation, pan execution and selection and use of crêpe making equipment. Together, we will prepare the buckwheat batter, make a kale, courgette and shallot filling, learn about regional Alpine cheeses, prepare an herbed vinaigrette dressing and those who are feeling brave can try their hand at making a galette complète—a galette filled with grated Comté, a slice of ham and topped with an egg. We will also demo how to whip up a healthy dessert filled using any fruit you have in your kitchen. At the end of the class, we will watch a slideshow of a crêpe-making festival in Brittany while we enjoy our hot crêpes! You are welcome to ask a friend or family member to join you in your kitchen and prepare the crepes together. Probably best for 3rd grade and older.

Instructor Anna Mays is an anthropologist who enjoys teaching about world culinary traditions, agricultural practices and the intersection between food, diet, culture and well-being. Anna trained at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School and has lived in France.
