The Birthday Gift

Birthdays are special, and so are the intrinsic gifts of love inside the wrapper.

On the day Noodle Cook woke up to the ringing phone expecting a birthday greeting and breakfast in bed, the greatest gift was received some 4000 km away in Sydney. This is no ordinary gift. A family in their time of great lost, courageously, offered a kidney so some other has a second chance at life. A generous gift to Noodle's sister, a most deserving mum with 2 wonderful kids.

On this memorable birthday for Noodle Cook, John enjoyed savory crepes stuffed with tomatoes, cheese and fennel, with a topping of golden buttered mushroom.
