As you may know from my previous post, it wasn’t long ago that I came back from my snowboarding trip in Avoriaz. Whilst self board cuisine wasn’t great, one thing I could eat plenty of (and thank you for introducing them to me France) is the Banana and Nutella Crêpe.
So of course, the first thing I did when I got back (leaving unpacking till later) was to make some of these beauties!
Originally I thought the only difference between a crêpe and a pancake was that a crêpe was a ‘thin pancake’. However, after doing a little research, crêpes are richer and lighter in texture than regular pancakes, so you’ll need to add more eggs and some butter to your basic batter mix. The ingredients I used for the batter are as follows (enough to make a hell of a lot of crepes – about 15)!
- 3 Eggs
- 125g Plain Flour
- 300ml Milk
- 2 tablespoons melted Butter
- Oil (to fry)
Simply mix all the above ingredients (minus the oil) together to make the batter. Then over a high heat, heat some oil, then pour a thin spread of batter to make your first crêpe. You’ll either need a good non-stick pan, or a reasonable amount of oil to make sure the crêpe doesn’t stick.
Once one side is done, give it a flip and spread your Nutella and sliced Bananas over one half of the crêpe. Once the other side of the crêpe is cooked, fold it in half and serve – et voilà!!!
…And some learnings from me: don’t be afraid of mixing sweet with savoury, and remember, you can also keep the batter in the fridge until you next need it.
Enjoy!
You’ve just got to love Lasagna! Well, I do, and my secret ingredient for this Lasagna Recipe is to add MILK into the bolognese. It’s great for making the sauce really creamy, and it really enhances the flavour.
And if you have any leftover, you can whip up a Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe the next day in minutes.
Enjoy,
Warren.
I love really simple recipes, however, this Paella Recipe does require a little more thinking (boo) as I have discovered.
However… It’s worth it! The only extra thinking comes in when you’re cooking the rice. I find Paella is really nice if the rice is crisp, so it’s important not to cook it for a minute longer, otherwise it’s too late, which equals a soggy Paella Recipe!
I hope you enjoy it and please do leave a comment and subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more recipe updates.
Cheers,

So…
I’m not much of a baker, but I thought I’d give baking some cookies a go. However, under the instruction of Zac Young (of Top Chef Just Desserts), they can’t be any old cookie, and I need to ‘think outside the box’ to make them.
So I decided to combine my two favourite things – Nutella and Peanut Butter and make Peanut Butter Nutella Cookies (think of them as a Snickers cookie, without the Snickers)!
Now bearing in mind the recipe video we made for these was the third recording off the day, it was all going wrong from the start! Be that as it may, I somehow managed to bake some pretty tasty cookies, despite appearances (and it’s all documented)!
So I hope you enjoy the video below, and give them a go yourself – hopefully somewhat more successfully than me!
Enjoy,
Warren.
I just want to say a massive thanks to Blake at CHOW.com for his feeback on my recipe video for Homemade Fish and Chips, as part of being on the YouTube Next Chef program.
You can check out his feedback in the video below. Simply fast forward to 02:20 and see what he’s got to say!
Thanks again Blake, and all the feedback has been noted!

Check out my latest recipe video (below) for Stuffed Chicken wrapped in Parma Ham. The great thing about this is (and I know I say it all the time) it’s really easy to make, AND, it’s a real show-stopper!
The Chicken is stuffed with Cream Cheese and Chives and Wrapped in Parma Ham, whilst having a drizzling of Olive Oil, Garlic and Oregano between the Chicken and Parma Ham.
Let us know what you think of the recipe and look out for my next video coming soon.

For the resolution makers!
Well we’ve made it half way through January and if you’ve been ever so good with what you’ve been eating and drinking, why not reward yourself with this home made Mojito Recipe (see video below).
And yes, I was testing out my new green screen, so apologies for the special effects and generally pretty bad acting! The cocktail’s pretty good though!
Enjoy!
Warren.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I hope you all had a very happy New Year and here’s to 2012 (chinging of glasses)!
If your New Years resolution is to eat a little bit healthier, or, to cut down on the takeaways (namely Fish and Chips), check out this recipe video for a Homemade Fish and Chips. It’s baked in breadcrumbs and is really easy to make, and, I’m not just saying this, but I really do think it tastes as good as the real thing.
Try it for yourself and let me know what you think,
Cheers,
Warren.
Hi All,
Christmas is literally just around the corner so get yourself down to the shop and get some ingredients for Mulled Wine! Check out the video here to see how simple it is to make, we whipped it up for when we were getting ready for the work Christmas Party and it tastes 10-times better than the shop bought stuff.
Enjoy!
Warren.
P.s. Please feel free to comment on the Dicky Bow!
Well it’s been a busy couple of weeks, and after receiving a ton of great kit from YouTube, we were given our first recording assignment. We had to create a video for something that can be included in a Thanksgiving meal. I HAD to go with Brussel Sprouts, although they’re not strictly a traditional Thanksgiving side, it’s a good thing Christmas is just round the corner! You can check out the video below (the camera is amazing, although, I still have a lot to learn with it), and you’ll see it up on FitBrits.com shortly. Cheers for now. Warren.
