    Buckwheat crepes with quince filling (pg 110). I set aside my preference for a pure buckwheat galette and actually made the buckwheat crepes. They are actually quite good buckwheat crepes; they are not galettes. Either would make a good vessel for the simple cooked quince filling. This is an easy, elegant dessert worth repeating ... or considering for a midnight snack.

Publishers Text

For many years, Fran Gage ran the famed Patisserie Française on upper Market Street in San Francisco. Now, in this special book of stories and recipes, Gage writes most engagingly about a life that has centered around food. Whether it is creating fine French pastries or proselytizing on behalf of the long-neglected quince, Fran Gage has a sophisticated palate that fully reflects the range and esprit of the Bay Area food scene.


Bread and Chocolate is full of delightful culinary adventures and includes 60 recipes.
