The old ones are the best!

So as I said in my last post, it was mine and my partner's birthdays a few weeks ago. Now it's probably fair to say that we have an interesting history when it comes to buying one another gifts, but this year the other half did me proud!

A goldmine of interesting recipes to try!

We opened our presents in bed and he (a little nervously) handed me a book shaped package. I opened it to reveal a 1913 edition of Mrs Beeton's All About Cookery. What a great present!!! There's some beautiful illustrations in there, and it contains recipes for everything from mutton to rabbit to toast. My favourite so far is pig's feet and ears fricaseed! Though I haven't actually tried it out.......

Birthday goodies. Cheers!

He also got me a bottle of pink fizz and some gorgeous smoked glass champagne dishes which I'm itching to use. My main present is a baking course of some sort which I have yet to book but am very excited about! If anyone has any recommendations about good ones let me know!
