ABOUT MARIE VERONIQUE
Marie-Veronique Nadeau is a chemist who founded Marie Veronique in 2002. An inventor at heart who suffered from teenage acne, she was moved to create her own products when she could find nothing on the market that was clean and effective to address her rosacea. From there, she went on to develop a line for acne and was one of the first to formulate a non-nano zinc oxide sunscreen. She continues to lead the way towards safe yet effective skincare, determined to move an industry ensconced in hype into the realm of science. She is a trained esthetician, holds degrees in Math and Science, and is a former high school chemistry teacher. She collaborates with her daughter, Jay Nadeau, physicist and bio-medical engineer, to carefully choose each ingredient in her products to solve real skin issues and address the causes of aging at the source.
Our vision at Marie Veronique is to deliver superior, non-toxic skincare drawing on nature’s genius and the brain of science through innovative formulations. Achieving optimal skin health and healing real skin issues drive us to produce safe products that truly work.

As part of our collaboration with Julia Sherman, she is creating a series of recipes exclusively for Marie Veronique. Since we so often talk about the importance of good nutrition to skin health, we are often asked about how to eat in a way that is both supportive of your health *and* delicious. So we thought, who better to work with? We can’t wait for you to try them!
First up is a breakfast recipe: Savory Buckwheat Crepes. We often get asked what to eat for breakfast and how you start the day can be crucial to building the foundations of skin health! By eating well in the morning you stimulate the digestive process and stabilize blood sugar, which both have a profound impact on the skin. Additionally, boosting daily fiber and eating a wide variety of vegetables is essential for a healthy microbiome, promoting both gut and skin health, so why not start with breakfast? The star of this recipe is buckwheat, which is high in fiber and has a low-to-medium glycemic index. It’s also high in quercetin, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in the body. This recipe is so easy to modify based on seasonal and personal preferences.
Bon Appétit!
Savory Buckwheat Crepes
Note: Crepes really work best in a carbon steel pan, or a nonstick pan if you don’t have carbon steel. I like a flexible fish spatula for getting under the edges as well.
Combine buckwheat flour, all purpose flour, cornmeal, + sea salt. Whisk to combine.
Add the warm water, molasses, and the yeast and whisk to combine. Cover with a damp, clean kitchen towel and place in a warm spot for at least an hour or overnight.
When ready to cook, sprinkle the baking soda over top and add the milk. Stir well to combine.
Heat a 10” carbon steel or nonstick skillet over a medium-high flame. Add about a teaspoon of ghee and swirl to coat the surface of the pan. Have a dry dish towel on hand. Stir the batter and add a scant 1/3 cup of batter to the pan. Working quickly with a kitchen towel to protect your hands, swirl the batter around to completely coat the surface of the pan in one thin layer. Let the crepe cook until the edges appear crispy and brown and the surface is dry. Release the edges of the crepe from the pan using the corners of the spatula. It should happen easily, but if not, let it cook a little longer. If filling the crepe, add the ingredients and fold over onto itself. Wipe the pan free of any crumbs before cooking the next crepe. Serve immediately.
A Note on Fillings:
You can experiment with fillings for the crepe that suit your tastes and preferences, but the goal is to incorporate protein, healthy fats, and a variety of plant fibers into your breakfast. We love warm, savory breakfasts that focus on the above components to start the day and support healthy skin function. Here are a few of our favorite combos as inspiration; feel free to modify and adjust to your nutritional needs.
