Lynnfield Woman's Crepes Earn Her A Trip To France

The following is an announcement from Kraft Foods:

A resident of Lynnfield, Mass., Suzanne Aiken recently won a Dream Trip to France by entering her recipe for Savory Lemon Herb Crepes on Real Women of Philadelphia’s Dream Trips contest. Cooking was always one of Suzanne’s favorite hobbies, entertaining for friends and family at traditional Sunday night dinners, but she was looking to further challenge herself in the kitchen. Balancing her Apple computer across the kitchen table and chairs, Suzanne filmed her French-inspired dish, spent hours editing the clip and shared her creation with the online community. Her luscious yet easy-to-make dish was chosen as the winner.

Truly a dream come true for Suzanne, a trip to France was something she and her late husband had always wanted to do. Her first trip to France will also be the first vacation she has taken in 13 years. She’s looking forward to taking her close friend, sitting in a café with among beautiful baked goods and having a fine French dining experience to help inspire her for future recipes.

This isn’t the first time Suzanne has been recognized in the Real Women of Philadelphia community for her outstanding dishes. Her Pilgrim Pork Chops were featured in the Season 1 cookbook, a community-themed cookbook featuring the “best of the best” recipes.
