This recipe is dedicated to David and Eithne Sarginson who are in their 80’s and survived the Corona Virus. I got a message from their daughter Jane, asking for the written recipe as her parents wanted to treat themselves this Easter Sunday to a Guinea fowl.
Wishing you both continuous good health, love and happiness always.
Jane, thank you very much for reaching out and virtual hugs your way.
Happy Easter!
With love,
Fafa
