I had been a chemist in my youth, a researcher and a chemistry teacher, and then became a travel specialist; now I work as a pastry chef. However, cooking and pastry making have been with me all my adult life: in my Georgian family, it is customary to cook delicious and a lot, but most of the dishes were not creative. As for me, I have come the way of experimenting and trying new things. That is why every my recipe is the signature one today.

- Give the dough 1 hour in a refrigerator.
- Bake crepes in a frying pan with 24-cm diameter. Use 50 ml of the dough per one crepe. You should get about 20 crepes.
Cream
- Whip cold cream in a cold metal bowl. (It is very important that the cream is cold!)

Salted caramel
