Luvachicken Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 Erm, I already opened mine because I was too excited and because you'd all said today was the day. From a "chicken crazy friend" I received recipes for a Peach and Coconut cake which sounds delicious, a new crumble recipe which has coconut and oats in the topping and a pointer to a website for millionaires shortbread - which I love. Think I'm going to give the Peach and Coconut cake a try first. I also received a sweet card that says "Along with cake" said the mole, "friendship is one of the sweetest things" Thank you lovely chicken crazy friend xx 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I got a Cornish Ginger Fairings recipe! Never heard of them, but it sounds lovely! And a bonus recipe of absolutely devilish sounding chocolate mousse! I’m now chucking the ingredients for the fairings in my online shopping basket! All on a lovely chicken card! Thank you recipe fairy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Just opened mine and it looks amazing - a savoury cake! It came with a lovely card giving more details of how/when it should be eaten together with 'background' which was really lovely (and very interesting!) I'm not going to be able to make it this weekend as some of the ingredients are def not available in the village but I will add to my next Thursday's grocery order and bake next weekend. The fact that you are supposed to eat it with wine is a complete bonus! Thank you to my thoughtful and obviously very cultured swapee!!!!!

mullethunter Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I got a Speculaas Pie recipe along with some sachets of speculaas spice and chai tea to drink with it. I could smell it as soon as I walked into the kitchen where it was waiting for me 😋 Thanks ‘mystery’ swappee - will hopefully bake on Sunday. Also with incredible drawings of chickens! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarrisonFamily Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I have also opened mine ready to try - lovely biscuits and brownies all written out so lovely - I can't wait to try and eat both just may have to wait a few days as everything is crazy here as my 16 year old leaves home to go to College and whilst studying is part of the elite rugby squad so also getting trained in all things rugby - I am just not ready for my little ones big adventure to start but the brownies may help - Thank you 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula123 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Sorry I was out last night getting my fish and chip fix - not usual French cuisine however a small cafe does it once a month locally and we are like moths to a light. So this morning I opened my envelope, inside were 2 beautifully laminated recipes, someone has obviously been spying on me and knows that most of my recipe books also contain remnants of ingredients😂. I have a fruit loaf recipe and a chocolate orange scone one, I’m going to make the fruit loaf later as I have the ingredients however we can’t buy Terry’s chocolate oranges her so will have to look for an orange chocolate substitution which shouldn’t be difficult as the French love sweet foods. Thank you so much and I look forward to baking later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
