How to Poach Eggs: It’s World Egg Day
World Egg Day is here, and I must say, today’s cooks would be lost without eggs to fire their imaginations. Cake batters become transformed by incorporating eggs. What would crepes be without eggs?

So, always purchase the best quality...

How to Cook Breakfast Crepe-Cakes
When I was making breakfast yesterday, I suppose I was a bit sleepy still, as I had forgotten to put all the ingredients in my batter for pancakes.
