Crespelle ai funghi e carciofi alla romana

I'm back! Been working and travelling A LOT and also been super tired... Had a day off on Wednesday and rather than spending it on the couch reading Grazia like any sensible pregnant woman would do I decided to do some cooking instead. I discovered three very important things:

1. Cleaning artichokes is a pain in the ass and makes your hands look like a miner's.

2. I can have blue cheese if it's cooked.

3. Shitake mushrooms are beautiful.

Therefore I decided to make carciofi alla romana and crespelle funghi e zola. That's braised artichokes stuffed with garlic, mint and parsley and mushroom filled salty crêpes cooked in the  oven with a blue cheese and béchamel sauce. I used Portobello and shitake mushrooms. Forgive me but I am too lazy to write the actual recipe so here is a little visual diary of my afternoon in the kitchen.
