Recipes
La Melba
Invented for a soprano. Serve it before the ice cream finds out where it is.
How to make it
- Pour wheat batter and spread it thin.
- Cook it golden on both sides, unless the guest asks otherwise (that is how the notebook recommends it).
- Place the raspberries: usually 5 pieces.
- Dollop the vanilla ice cream.
- Fold it: Triangle. Fold in half, then in half again.
Price and cost
It sells for 7,50 €. At the usual helpings it costs about 1,55 € to make (0,40 € of batter and 1,15 € of fillings), before any discount and less for home-grown fillings. Mastery stamps and the market's charm cards raise the price; see mastery.
The notebook page
The page is missing at first. It turns up the first time you serve this crêpe well. Until then the stub reads:
A cold ring on the stub. Raspberries and ice cream, in a triangle.
It belongs to the set Les Fruits rouges, worth 4 pearls once every crêpe in it has been served really well.
