I first got this recipe from some magazine or other in an article about a dinner planned by Julia Child. When I went online to check the source I found the exact same thing on the Food Network website by some other chef, so I guess it doesn’t belong to any one person. I have changed the assembly to make it easier, as I have very little patience with doing complicated things just for looks. It’s called “Gateau Mont St. Michel” because it’s supposed to be a “mountain” of crepes, apples and almond cream that’s then cut into wedges to serve. But that’s just too much work. So here’s my version, which I have titled:
Breakfast for 75
The first of what I hope will be a weekly series of posts on my excursions into feeding people, usually at our home but sometimes somewhere else. (I’ll hope to develop my abilities as a photographer along the way.)
This past Saturday morning the Cherry Creek Chorale had its usual retreat rehearsal. Once per concert rehearsal set, usually about every two months, we have this special, optional time for intensive work. We start formally at 9:00, so at 8:30 or so we serve breakfast as a bribe to get as many people as possible to come.
