                       vegetable
                       -stock
  1 1/2   tb           Arrowroot OR
  2       ts           Kudzu powder
  2       tb           Dry red wine
  1       tb           Tamari, or more to taste

  Prepare the crepes.

  Filling: Place the shiitake mushrooms in a bowl.
 Cover them with water and let them soak for at least 1
 hour.
  Discard the stems and finely chop the mushrooms. Set
 aside.

  Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the onion, garlic and
 bay leaves. Saute over low heat until the onions are
 translucent. Add the shiitake mushrooms, the fresh
 mushrooms, and the tarragon. Cook until the mushrooms
 are done.

  Stir in the flour and mix well. Pour in the wine
 while continuing to stir. Cook until the mixture
 thickens.
  Add the tamari and cayenne to taste. Set the filling
 aside while you make the sauce.

  Sauce: Dissolve the arrowroot or kudzu in the water.
  Add the wine. Cook in small saucepan over high heat,
 stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. This is
 not supposed to be very thick, so do not overcook it.
  Add the tamari to taste and mix well.

  To assemble:  If the filling mixture has cooled down,
 heat it by returning the skillet to the stove and
 stirring the mixture over medium-high heat until it is
 hot.

  Place about 1/4 cup of filling in the center of each
 crepe and roll up the crepes.

  Place the crepes on individual serving plates. Pour
 some of the sauce over each crepe and serve.

  Note: If you made the crepes earlier and want to heat
 them up, place the unfilled crepes in a cake pan,
 cover them with aluminum foil, and bake them at 350
 degrees until heated through.
