Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Lori of the food blog Dessert Comes First, just returned from what sounded like a fantastic trip to Paris. Like any good blogger, she took lots of photos of her trip, but what is more relevant to us is that she also took lots of photos of her food. She stopped in at what is said to be one of the best creperies in Paris and picked up this Banana and Nutella Crepe. Made on the spot, the hot crepe is quickly smeared with rich, creamy Nutella and a sliced banana. To contrast with the rich filling. A dollop of French vanilla ice cream - made with egg yolks, which provide the slightly yellow tinge, and real vanilla bean - adds a refreshingly cool and delicate layer of flavor to the plate.
Fortunately for those of use who aren't planning Paris trips in the near future, this is an easy treat to reproduce at home. You just need to start with a basic crepe recipe and pick up some Nutella at the market. It would also be brilliant with strawberries and any other fruit that you find works well with the chocolate-hazelnut spread.

A more adult version might be crepes with apricot preserves and ground toasted hazelnuts, drizzled with melted bittersweet chocolat, maybe a bit of cinnamon too.
Pornorific!

There is nothing on this planet that's better than the combo of bananas and chocolate.

It's on the menu, 2nd page in the middle.

Don't get me wrong, I *adore* chocolate and hazelnut in combination; but I find Nutella too sugary sweet, which isn't surprising as the first ingredient listed on the label is sugar. Put me in front of a good gianduja spread from Italy, one in which chocolate/cocoa is the prominent ingredient, and I'll follow you anywhere!

11-18-2006 @7:12PM Gina said... Gianduja is pure heaven as well and another fave of mine!

Great crepes in many iterations, sweet and savory.

Foolish Craig's pales in comparison, their crepes aren't nearly as good. (And no, i don't work for Crepes to Go)
