Recipe: Homemade Nutella Crepes served with Coconut Milk & Double Smoked Candy Bacon

Last night Chef Keoma Franceschi and his culinary team at Massimo’s Cucina treated a room full of diners to a four-course Swine and Dine menu that incorporated Alberta Pork from appetizer to dessert. Chef Keoma finished our meal with a beautiful homemade nutella crepe served with coconut milk and double smoked candy bacon. If I was at home I would have picked up the plate and licked it clean. Thankfully Chef Keoma was kind enough to share his recipe. A huge thanks to Massimo’s and their kitchen and serving staff for a fabulous evening; I can’t wait to come back.
