Preparation
    Place all crepe ingredients together and mix well.
    Allow to stand for 30 minutes.
    Make crepes in a heavy crepe pan.
    Spray crepe pan with cooking oil and pour in enough mixture to form a thin and even layer over pan.
    When crepes begin to bubble turn and cook other side.
    Makes 10-12 crepes.
    While the crepe mixture is'standing'combine the berries and sugar for the filling in a bowl and allow to stand for 20 minutes.
    Filling-------------.
    Blend together all ingredients and put through a fine sieve to remove pips.
    Creme Anglaise-----------.
    Bring the milk to the boil with vanilla extract.
    Beat egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow.
    Pour milk over the eggs and blend.
    Return to a low heat and stirring constantly, thicken the sauce.
    Do not BOIL.
    The mixture is'thickened' when it coats the back of a spoon.
    Cover sauce and chill in the fridge.
    TO ASSEMBLE DESSERT-------------.
    Place generous spoonfuls of berries in the centre of each crepe (dividing the mixture evenly amongst the crepes).
    Fold in the sides of each crepe to form a square'parcel'.
    Allow 2'parcels' per person.
    Spoon the Creme Anglaise on one side of a flat plate and the Strawberry Sauce on the other so that the 2 sauces just meet in the middle.
    Arrange the crepes gently on the sauce.
    Garnish each plate with a strawberry sliced in half.
    Voila!
