Tuna Crepe Stack
Dec 8th, 2008 by Dani
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.
