"Dear Fiona, I ordered and received a clootie dumpling from you in December and I want to thank you for sending such a lovely gift. Not only was it tasty, it was also presented in a lovely way. My elderly mother, who is originally from Dundee, thoroughly enjoyed this treat. Thank you so much for this wonderful product. By the way, my Canadian husband got hooked on clooties as well!" Jean Marshall, British Columbia, Canada

"Fiona, Our dumpling turned up incredibly with no hold ups in Malaysia customs! It made for a fantastic dessert and boxing day breakfast with a Scottish twist! Living in the tropics, it’s hard to find a taste from home. Fantastic Clootie, great service, prompt delivery and a very Merry Christmas - thank you very much!" Kevin Mands, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

"Dear Fiona, I received your clootie dumpling as a Christmas present and it was incredibly delicious. We had the clootie with custard on Christmas day and found it so much more tastier than Christmas pudding. Many thanks." Rose Mordy, Northumberland

"Thank you for our Clootie Dumpling. It has just arrived and looks beautiful, it was almost a shame to unwrap it. However, it tastes as good as it looks - just as good as the ones my Mum used to make. Thank you." Liz Thompson, Hampshire

"Dear Fiona, For the second year running your clootie dumplings have reigned supreme at various celebrations. It was the highlight of my mother’s 80th birthday celebration last year, evoking happy memories for her and introducing younger members of the clan to historic clootie paradise. That first clootie disappeared in a puff of bliss while the second was enjoyed as a guilty pleasure over several weeks - you’re right about them storing very well in the fridge and your suggestion for a quick microwave of slices is inspirational as far as I’m concerned; this is instant pure luxury. Your presentation is exceptional and I’m delighted I can send your clooties as gifts. Pals both near and far can gaze in anticipation at the beautiful wrapping before delving into their own wee taste of Scottish clootie heaven. They’re braw! Many thanks." Joon Simpson, Edinburgh

"I liked the clootie so much that I woke at 5 in the morning and wrote this poem:"

Fiona’s clootie, what a beauty
This is just a dream
Lovely with a pour of custard
Or a drop of cream

Fiona’s clootie, what a beauty
Pop it in the pan
Tasty with a bit of bacon
This is livin’ man!

Fiona’s clootie, was a beauty
That’s it gone for now
Like to say a big thank you
And a great big WOW!
Joanne Marshall

"Your Clootie dumpling was very well received at our scottish evening - we warmed it slightly and served it with hot custard. It was lovely and moist. We saved a slice for my mother and, being a Scot, she said it tasted how she remembered as a child. Mum originally came from Glasgow but she came down here to England when she was 20; she is now 85. Thank you once again." June Smith
