Laila, on tableofcolors , prepares the most beautiful food for her family and friends ( and others besides, as part of her work). In late November, despite the difficulties presented by a blackout , Laila, ( with help from her husband, I think ) made a meal of roast moose and roast vegetables with spinach crepes. It looked delicious on her blog post but, not having access to a supply of moose, the only part that I could try to copy was the spinach crepe. So try I did, and then I tried more and more….. until I was quite *roly poly , gammon no meat and some spinach* and very well satisfied.
Since then we have had several meals ( hot, cold, warm ) of delectable spinach crepes and I am pleased to report that they are my new favourite meal of the moment, food.
Thank you Laila. Your recipes are inspirational, but so practical, and, whenever I make them, I feel as though I have brought a little bit of your lovely home, and a little bit of Finland, into my world.

Looks really delicious!
Defently will try it! ❤️
Please do; they are as delicious as your waffles 🙂
Gallivanta – They look delicious and I’d bet venison would be quite acceptable to replace the Moose. I may just try it !!
We can get venison quite easily here. I do enjoy it every now and then, especially with cranberry sauce.
🙂

You have a delicious menu 🙂
Looks tempting, but I’d have to be i an experimenting mood. I have never heard of spinach crepes…much less moose.
Yes, one has to be in the right mood to try something new.
i have tried venison and it is delicious and now i want to try moose and spinach crepes, I’m coming over lol
I will be waiting. Bring your crochet 🙂
On my way 🙂
What good timing this post is. I’ve just bought some spinach from the organic growers out in the country. She went up to the garden to cut it and came back with an enormous bunch, that left me wondering how I’d ever get through it. Help! I thought. I need spinach recipes. And now I know what to do (will produce a gluten-free version). Thank you. (I like your accompaniments too)
If you have access to Alison Holst’s recipes, she has a wonderful spinach frittata recipe. It is gluten free but not dairy free. And I think the crepe recipe could be made gluten free quite easily. Sounds like you are an expert on recipe conversion 🙂
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
oh, great. so it’s 1am, dead of night when I see these and I GET SO TERRIBLY HUNGRY! 😀
will try and whip up something similar for sunday breakfast. need to make those gluten-free as well, which is a major pain in the…. 😉
I find that crepes work well gluten-free. Laila does a few gluten-free recipes. Not sure how you make crepes without eggs though. LOL, I was so hungry at 1am this morning I had to eat…..bread.
they are more like bread or tortillas really 🙂 but if you add a few chia seeds, the dough becomes more “elastic”
Sounds good 🙂
Do you like using buckwheat? I like buckwheat in pancakes. Haven’t tried it in crepes.
yes! absolutely. the french make “galettes au sarrasin”, huge, thin crêpes with salty toppings like ham, cheese, smoked fish or vegs. absolutely delicious!
Oh, I have seen those on the internet and they look so yummy.
they ARE yummy. the best part for me: buckwheat is of course not wheat so it’s gluten-free. yaaaaay! crêpes pour moi! 😀
YES!
This looks mouthwateringly good (is mouthwateringly a word?) Who cares – I’m going to try it anyway!
I am sure it must be a word 🙂
Looks absolutely delicious!! *drools* I figured out as well that i could look at the pictures in mega size (when I clicked on them) so that was a little exciting… almost started licking my screen.. (perhaps I am suffering from lack of sleep?
Thanks for sharing!

Or lack of spinach crepes 🙂 Arugula is rocket (salad leaves) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eruca_sativa. It has rocketed all over my garden. Got so much I probably should make arugula crepes.
Maybe that is part of my four leaf lettuce packet that i pick up in the supermarket.
Id feel better about it if it grew in my own garden (and it would be cheaper).. I might give the idea of a garden some more thought. I recently killed some watermelons we had growing in the back yard!
Rocket could well be in that lettuce packet. It’s rather spicy.
Oh, those look very, very tempting! I do like the idea of an addition of goat cheese…HMMM…terribly hungry now!!!!
Making me feel hungry too, all over again. It is past midnight and I need a snack before I sleep 🙂
So wonderful! They look delicious! Finland is near and dear to us (literally)… my little bundles are 1/4 Finnish 😀
Ah yes I remember that now. Have they been to Finland yet? To drink of their ancestral waters?
I really enjoyed this post, Gallivanta! You always make food look too good to eat. But I would eat it anyway. Yummy!
And I would make sure that you did 🙂
You are a true friend, indeed!!! 🙂
When’s lunch? I’ll do the dishes……
Lunch is over for today but if you come tomorrow you can try crepes as well as spinach and mushroom frittata and home-made bread. Sound good?
Yes, your spinach crepes look wonderful.
Thanks Ellen. I like delicious and easy and these were both.
Yum; looks delicious! And I love the title of your post – I was smiling from the very start!
Yes!
Wow, its been years since we made crepes, did you just cook them in the fry pan? They look so delicious 🙂
Yes, I have a smallish non-stick fry pan and it was perfect. A few of the crepes were badly shaped or thicker or thinner than they should have been but it didn’t really matter. They all tasted great. And I think they are very healthy with the spinach etc.
Yes, I remember having trouble with them sticking to the pan so I bet the nonstick pan works great 🙂
I do have a cast iron pan that works well with crepes but it is rather heavy for me to use these days.
Yum! I could go for some of those right about now…. 🙂
Yes, crepes are good summer or winter; all year round, in fact.
Looks delicious! I grew up with crepes but I have never tried them with spinach. Next time! I’m sure I’ll become *roly poly* as well 🙂 But I’ve tried moose roast…it’s delicious with mashed potatoes, gravy and lingonberries.
I haven’t tried lingonberries yet but I am sure I would love them and they would be delicious with a roast. I suppose moose would be a bit like our NZ venison which I like in small amounts.
Yes, moose is probably very similar. I’ve only had it twice in my life when I happened to be at my dad’s during the hunting season and a hunting company had killed one in our woods. We have never been hunters, but it’s a courteous tradition by hunters there to give a roast of 3-4 kg to the land owner. This year my dad got such a roast but it was after I had visited in the fall.
That’s a lovely tradition.
They look so good. I always like crepe. I see some greens under the crepe near the top. Can you please tell what they are?
YC, the green stuff is a salad green. I call it rocket but it is also known as arugula. Probably has other names as well. It’s rather spicy.
So, no moose in the hoose then ? 😉 xox
Nope; not a single one. No mousse and no mouse either. Dull house!
It looks delicious! I love spinach in every way possible so will definitely try this recipe. Also, thanks for discovering Laila’s amazing blog which I am now following 🙂
Her blog is awesome; always beautiful photos and beautiful recipes. Do try the recipe. You may want to make a smaller quantity although I think the crepes would freeze well if you couldn’t eat them all at once.
Moose is one of those things that are free if you hunt it or super expensive bc i might have to go to harrods to find it!!
And there’s no chance of a moose in my neck of the woods 😉 and NZ Customs would never allow me to import moose from Harrods or anywhere else.
These look delicious. What a lovely way to eat spinach! 😉
Yes it is a good way to eat spinach. I like spinach when it is mixed up with other ingredients, crepes, quiches, souffles etc I use a lot of frozen spinach; easy to keep and easy to cook
Me too – I like my spinach mixed with other ingredients. 😉
I am so used to thinking of crepes as something sweet that I completely forgot about their use as a savoury item till I saw Laila’s recipe.
What an idea, spinach crepes, I love it, I love spinach, I will have to try this. But then on your plate it looks so perfect, I should just pop over and try it from you! 🙂
It was hard to make a perfectly shaped crepe (and I didn’t always succeed) but I don’t think it really matters. I would be happy to make some for you. Wow, you are getting so many reasons to come and see me 🙂
Oh yes I should start making a list! 🙂
I think you will have to make a list for more than one country. A world cruise is probably what you need.
Now that is an idea…. need to find a millionnaire first to finance it… let’s start…. George Clooney apparently is free again….things are looking up already! 🙂
😀 😀 😀
You are too kind! Thank you so much for the beautiful post, so glad they have become a favorite…our kids always jump for joy if I say that we will be having spinach crepes for supper.
I join your kids in jumping for joy. My husband too. If you have time to click on the link for roly poly you will see that I have included an animated version of a children’s rhyme that I grew up with. Perhaps you know it? I thought the green frog might amuse your children. I think ‘gammon and spinach’ is an expression that means nonsense.
My kids loved it! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Wonderful.
the crepes made me drooling especially served in your nice style. 🙂
They are very delicious and healthy too; lots of green vegetable in them 🙂
what is the recipe to make it? I am so curious!
The recipe can be found if you click on the underlined word blackout. Blackout is the name of the post that contains the recipe. I didn’t really make that very clear in my post. My apologies. My brain must have been having a ‘blackout’ moment.
Hahaha…. I will see it right away.
We are in the tomato doldrums where to see a tomato like that (my mouth is watering) costs an arm and a leg. This combo looks soooo yummy but I might be tempted to put some goat cheese in it instead of sour cream. Note to self…don’t look at Gallivanta’s food posts right before bedtime. 🙂
Goat cheese would be a yummy addition. Well, before you go to bed, you could always leave a wee note asking your ‘beloved’ to check out the recipe for spinach crepes because you would like some for breakfast. Yes, we are going in to our happy tomato season. Not all that cheap yet but they will be.
Looks delicious (and I’d steer away from the moose, too) 😉 !
Hmmm….I would be tempted to try moose if it were available.
mmm. . . the spinach crepe looks delicious. I like the artistic way you arranged the food for the photo.
Thank you. I was trying to take inspiration from Laila’s beautiful food styling 🙂
