The foodie group resumed our usual monthly meetings today. At the last meeting we did a recipe swap and exchanged recipes that members considered among their favourites. We drew lots for these, with group members then making the recipe they had drawn from the hat. Todays offerings were Chicken Jalfrezi, sausage parcels, cheese scones and lemon tart with crème fraiche. The tasters were well received and empty plates vouched for the success of the swap. Another 5 people are doing their recipe swap next month. New members are always welcome to join the group.
Please note.
