Crepes Suzette
Crepes suzette were made famous in elegant Parisian restaurants at the turn of the twentieth century and have become standard French dessert fare. That they were accidentally created by a young waiter who was serving the Prince of Wales, and then named for the prince's companion, Suzette, is a nice story but probably not true. Nevertheless, they are dramatic and utterly delicious.
