Excellent!! Thank you for showing the original recipe. I'm teaching my 13 yo son to cook now and the first thing we do is meal plan based on videos you have available, then we watch the video together and I let him run the kitchen with me as his assistant. Teaching him with a step by step demonstration method in the kitchen wasn't working well so I figured I needed a new teaching method. After we watch your videos he is off and running and he retains everything you say and do in your videos, especially the culinary history information. He made the Gratin Dauphinois last night and it was a huge hit. You have a gift for teaching my friend. Great job on the videos, looking forward to preparing every one of the recipes with my son. He gives you huge credit on his success when he tells his friends about his latest dishes. I am happy to be a new Patreon supporter of your hard work. Best wishes on your continued successes.

[@NamaiWalterHeins-re4nu]

That sounds really amazing 😁 having a parent support you while you cook all the foodie videos of the internet. Kids these days teach themselves with video and to have a parent that support with grocercies and other supplies, thats nice. Even if it's not about cooking, but other crafts. I kinda hope my kids will have interest I or my husband do understand enough to support them 😅.

[@youtubehatesus2651]

I taught myself to cook. I started by reading the first part of 'Joy of Cooking' to learn all about ingredients, cooking methods (wet and dry), cooking terms, and herbs and spices. It has served me well over the years. It was the ABCs.

[@LePetitNuageGris]

This is so heartwarming and amazing. I hope your son is very proud of his new skills, and he’s kept on cooking with joy ever since.😊

[@purplealice]

I have an old cookbook that says to make the Suzette butter, take some sugar cubes and rub them all over the outside of an orange, so they absorb some of the flavorful oils from the peel - then crush the sugar cubes and mix them with butter. And, sometime back in the 1960s, a young man took me to a fancy restauraunt in New York City to have crepes suzette. They were served flaming, and there were sliced strawberries in the sauce! (And I couldn't eat strawberries.) I still haven't eaten "real" crepes Suzette, except when I tried to make them myself...

[@jackwebb437]

Don’t apologize for your English. Your English is much better than my French my friend.

Je suis British d'origine congolaise, élevée en Belgique vivant à Manchester. J'aime vraiment vos recettes et votre façon claire et concise de les presenter. Merci restez pareille et surtout keep the good work. All these '"Grands Chefs" should understand that it is not about them (big ego, we already know that their great) but about us: teaching people about their passion of cooking so we can learn and love cooking also. So thank you so much. Merci. Je vous souhaite de bien plus grands succès.

[@frankkolton1780]

I became enamored with French cuisine as a boy when I had my first bite of Crepes Suzette. My first French cookbook was Le Repetoire de la Cuisine that I found in an old neighborhood book shop, the only problem was that it was in French, so I had to buy a French to English translation book because is was long before the internet age. Even though I can read a cook book in French and understand the instructions, I can't pronounce most of the word correctly to save my life. After countless mishaps and disasters because of inexperience and wrong translations, I was finally able to master a few skills and recipes. The most important thing I learned about French cuisine over the years is there is nothing better than sharing wonderful food and drink with family and friends, meals together are looked forward to and greatly enjoyed. While that may hold true in any country or culture, no other country does it with such a complete variety of foods and tastes or as much style as the French. Eating well is living well.

[@LePetitNuageGris]

I love this comment. What an adventure and such dedication you showed. It’s very inspiring. I’d love to eat your creations.😊

[@tomsaaristo6294]

Crepes Suzette have always been flambeed whenever I've ordered them, but I am now team French Cooking Academy and now know the difference between them and Crepes Flambees. Thank you!

[@alexpiedmont3065]

It is so lovely to see someone finally make the original recipe with the Suzette butter. It's the one I have always made and it's just lovely. The butter keeps a few days in the fridge too so you can whip up more when you feel like it. Escoffier is my kitchen hero, I've had and used his Ma Cuisine since I was 13 years old. Thank you for you vídeos, I so look forward to them. Àlex.

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

Thanks Alex yes escoffier is a great mentor with so many recipes to learn 🙂🙂I guess it will keep me busy for years to come🙂👨‍🍳👨‍🍳

[@WastrelWay]

After watching a few of these videos, I downloaded Escoffier's book, and also the "Cookbook" by Jules Gouffe.

[@davidsonnow]

What do you mean a few days? Freeze that sucker and you can store it for a year!

[@roshorsley7344]

Happy Shrove Tuesday and pancake day. You have made this year a sublime experience with your 'flambée' recipe. I did not know there were two recipes and I will make the Escoffier version next year. The result was a unique taste due to your method, especially the caramelisation. Thank you:)

[@songbirdforjesus2381]

When poor, crepes with jam was our special dessert. Now, I am learning the professional way to make them. You made my day, and will provide memories for a lifetime, including recipes handed down to generations as I teach them the French Cooking School way

[@sampleaccount9302]

I have always terrified my parents with my cognitive abilities. When I was 8, I once verbally destroyed my father in an argument so badly our relationship hasn't been the same since.

[@LePetitNuageGris]

I grew up on crepes with jam. My German grandfather (who came to Canada during WW2) always used to make us crepes with plum jam, quark cheese, or poppy seeds. We loved them. Later, my mother would make them with regular old strawberry or raspberry jams… apricot is also great. They were all very yum!

Reminds me of Bananes flambées. Almost the same. I just caramelise the bananas beforhand and then deglaze with orange juice. You can also use dark rum and spinkle it with cinnamon instead of sugar. Reminds me that Chandeleur (Candlemas) is around the corner where traditionaly you make crêpes.

[@christinekaye6393]

Oh, yes! Decades ago, my father took me to Trader Vic's and I had banana flambe' (is that the same as Bananas Foster?) and I seem to remember the plate also had crepes. 45 years later and I still remember the taste.

[@noamzerah4657]

thank you. this is one of my favorit desserts. i must admit, that the best one i had, was in new orleans. by the way, ther is a big differat between curacao and triple sec. curacai is a dipper, sweeter and more complex liqure (grand marinier is a good example) while teiple sec is a daryer, mor sharp liqure like cointrou.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Very beautiful recipe. I had Crepe Suzette at a cultural festival, earlier this month. It was from the French pavilion. It was great. Where I live in Canada, we have something called Heritage Days. We have art, crafts, dancing, food, and music from different countries around the world. It is a lot of fun.

[@sharmisthamodak5761]

Very nice.. thanks a lot for sharing :)

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

My pleasure 🙂

[@gillesmarin]

Looking good for a restaurant who needs to be consistant with their recipes but my home free style version, following the very free spirit of Escoffier, made with home made citrus jam and home made butter from heavy cream, tastes much richer! And yes, I flambe my crêpe Suzette anyway, to burn the fat and strengthen the taste, but with Cointreau, for its richer bitter orange flavor. So the result is not as sweet as yours but more flavorful. Another important touch from Southern France influence is to add some orange blossom water into the batter of the crêpes. Try it! Bon Appétit!

[@ChezJ1]

Beautiful Chef, I really liked the first one. I was wondering if Cherries Jubilee is French, if so would you consider doing that sometime? Thank you for these recipes.

That mandarin butter! Just mouthwatering. I can think of a hundred uses for it, both sweet and savoury dishes (with a little less sugar added to it)

[@trsmith9510]

My grandmother used to make crêpes very similar to this, but she would grate or zest the orange by rubbing sugar cubes on the outside of the fruit. The orange oils and essence would be infused into the sugar cubes, and that was how she incorporated the orange flavor into the butter. I don't recall the rest of the steps, but she essentially ended up with crepe suzettes.

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

yes the rubbing of sugar is kind of the same really but a bit hard work and you need solid sugar blocks

[@MsJavaWolf]

I also thought that crepes flambees were crepes suzette, interresting video.

I came from part 1 to this hoping to see how to turn the batter into crêpes.... the batter just somehow magically became crêpes....would love to see how to make it so even, thin and brown on both sides. Is part 3 coming?

[@yossiperl7424]

Thanks! what kind of pan are you using here to fry the crepes? is it carbon steel or stainless steel? is it important for the dish?

[@reikilynx653]

When visiting Great Britain, my son fell in love with crepes. Our friend made them and all she did was sprinkle them with some sugar and poured orange juice over them. Obviously now, very generic, but it was oh so good regardless. I cannot imagine how good these variations are!, but the liquor sounds really expensive, are they? Thanks for sharing your gifts.

[@Vadigor]

Depends on what you mean by expensive. Grand Marnier is probably at a 20-30% premium compared to a semi-decent cognac or Cointreau (= triple sec = orange liqueur), both of which are at the same level as the likes of a nice bourbon or an average bottle of blended scotch. If you don't have any of the three and would only use it for this recipe you can use just Grand Marnier since it combines cognac and orange. But it's not at all versatile in my experience so a regular cognac would serve you much better for a variety of classic recipes. A basic triple sec is pretty cheap and it's a great mixer for cocktails so it can be a good purchase. Hope that helps. A good crepe with orange juice is already amazing, but the steps here do take it to the next level.

[@reikilynx653]

Vadigor thank you, that helped tremendously! I've never cooked like this before, so I was very anxious as to what to look for. Sweet of you. I take your advice most confidently now. In return, you receive a compliment for being very sweet about it :)

I have the Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge, and the Cointreu, but the only Curaçao over here seems to be Bleu, and I don't want blue crepes, haha. I must admit, I always thought that crepe suzette had to be flambed.
