This week’s cook book challenge combined with my lack of culinary energy has produced the somewhat mundane tuna crepe stack. Whilst unremarkable, it was a good honest meal of the comforting variety. Something I would imagine most children would eat happily and reasonably quick to prepare. Budget friendly as well.
The recipe claims to serve 6 but it fed the four of us with no leftovers.
