Thin, golden homemade crêpes
A light, supple and lump-free crêpe batter for an easy weekend treat.
A short list is often enough: these recipes focus on a few everyday ingredients and make each one count.

Ribbons of zucchini, golden goat cheese and crisp puff pastry.
A delicate crust hiding a dark chocolate centre that flows from the spoon.
With a short list, good cooking and balanced seasoning achieve more than a cupboard full of extras.
The ingredient list on each recipe is the source of truth, including oil, salt or a condiment when required. Gather everything before starting, because a short recipe leaves less room for a forgotten component.
Take time to brown, roast or reduce when a step calls for it. Distinct browning, the right amount of salt and the acidity specified in the recipe can add depth without a long list of flavourings.
Choose an alternative that performs the same job: a similarly textured vegetable, an equally rich liquid or a cheese that melts in a comparable way. In baking, do not remove a structural ingredient without an explicitly suggested substitution.
