TAKE A HAND WITH CREPES Use that marvelous crepe maker for dipping these rich crepcs, or follow the tiaditional technique of cooking inside a skillet. Either side up the crepe is a professional way to turn your hand in the kitchen. Ii all begins wiih fio/en egg substitute, tor delicate flavor. Choose your favorite poufy vegetable souffle for filling. lake a hint, and try one of the other vegetable casseroles sometime, too. ( repes are great to make ahead. Hold overnight in the refrig- erator; lor lunger storage, free/e wiap and keep fro/en Filled crepes can be done ahead, loo They are quick as a wink to finish m the microwave oven Professional diets recommend gla/ing the sauced crepes in a broiler for just a minute or two. Another professional idea is to garnish the plale with a slice ol vegetable or parsley just before presentation at youi table. McHenry Seniors Enjoy this trip with Mrs Giel now.
