My partner is sick right now home today with flu, and I have all the ingredients in your muffins recipe at home except the olive oil, got some sweet potatoes in the fridge to use! Making this for us both right now with sunflower oil instead, and am excited to try your recipe! Get well soon! Sending healing vibes :) Also, you've inspired me to think about trying to create some of my own recipes in the future, I haven't done that in such a long time, and it's so fun to do.

Nicolas come to toronto
So kind of you to rise to the occasion , making muffins while feeling so unwell. Thank you Nicolas , wishing you a speedy recovery. Mary Canada 🍁
When it's a Nicholas Fairfold episode, you stop what you're doing because you don't want to miss a single thing. Always definitely well worth it. I love your take on chocolate muffins. I have a friend who is a sweet potato enthusiast. You are so much appreciated. I do hope you're feeling better soon. ❤️
Nicolas, I am sorry that you are not well. You have the gift of bringing out the best in every situation, even sharing ways to bring comfort during illness. Your chocolate muffins and squash pasta dish would warm any heart and soul. God bless you for apologizing for a shortened video due to your illness at the end. Your warm, friendly, and caring personality is "comfort food" for your many viewers. Get better soon. All the best from New York.

Thanks so much for your very kind words!
NICOLAS! I have been focusing on the many troubles in the world. Your video gave me some much needed peace and has greatly helped my mental health. Thank you for this and all you do.
Good afternoon from West Virginia! So sorry you find yourself ill once again, but thank you for sharing your recipes with us. I would like to let you in on something I add to all chocolate recipes that intensifies the delicious chocolate without tasting this particular ingredient....that ingredient is instant coffee granules. With your recipe I'd probably recommend a heaping tablespoon to start with, and continue adding to taste. I hope you give this a try and doings that it makes your wonderful recipes even better! I always enjoy your presentations in your elegant yet comfortable home....with your calming voice, eloquent manner of speaking, your including the lovely outside surroundings and most importantly is beautiful little Sophie! I pray you feel better and that you are blessed, just as you bless so many by taking the time to come into our homes with recipes, decorating ideas, skin care, and so much more! God bless and thank you, Nicolas!
Even when you don't feel well and not at your best you have a way of making everything you do lovely and with such grace. Feel better soon.
Sorry your sick. Hope you get better soon.
Thank you, Nicolas, for making this extraordinary effort to bring us these interesting recipes when you weren’t feeling well. We appreciate it! Take good care of yourself and get better quickly!

So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
hi Nicholas, I just watched last week's video today as I've not been feeling well either. I hope you're feeling much better now. your muffins look delicious 😋
Get Well Soon 🌼🌼
Feel better soon, Nicolas! Thanks for soldiering on for our benefit, and yours;)! I’m definitely making these. My Mum is 93, and follows you. She loves to bake & cook, but limited now. I’ll make these & take them for her when I go to CT❤.
Wishing you the very best and a speedy recovery
Loved that you held the camera on the mixer and bowl so we could see the speeds and at what consistencies you cranked her up. I just unboxed my very first stand mixer this morning, and this was a great demonstration. I can't wait to get started. Thanks, Nicholas. I hope you're tucked in your Frette bedding and sleeping soundly, as I write this from Upstate New York, USA. 🙂
Hope you get to feeling better. Take care.
Dear Nicolas, I just wrote a reply to an old acquaintance, not to be angry with her, but to understand her, because in my opinion people should only show tenderness, empathy and respect to each other. Therefore, I wish you, dear Nicolas, to continue to take good care of yourself, because health is the only real wealth of a person. With wishes for a speedy recovery, I send you warm greetings from Zagreb, which is still warm! 😊
It was very sweet of you to want to share these recipes even when you’re unwell. I’ll bet your squash sauce would also make a lovely soup with the addition of some chicken broth. Take care and feel better soon!
Sorry to hear that you were sick 😞 Hope it passed over quickly and that you are well by the time you read this. God Bless You 🙏☺️
The muffins and pasta look delicious! Hope you are well and feeling good by now!
Thank you for being your sweet calm self. You make every day better. Just by being yourself. Thank you. 🥰
Thank You for 'sharing' about taking care of self during illness. It provides inspiration and motivation to do the same for own self-healing during un-wellness. Also just loved the way you expressed your satisfaction when eating your baked muffin. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Glad to see your handsome face again Nicholas! And that your on the mend with your illness. Sharing what looks like a delicious recipe. Cheers!
Love those muffins especially with some hot coffee. fell better Nicholas. It was a great video despite your illness. Take time to recover and recharge. 🌴🌴🌴 Sending you healing vibes from Coconut Grove in Miami Florida 🌺
Thank you for the recipes. Hope you are better soon.
Aw Nicolas, so sorry to hear you've been feeling poorly this week, it really wouldn't have mattered if you didn't make a video, please rather take great care to recuperate asap, we all want you to feel on top of the world by next week, but thankyou for making such a humongous effort to inspire us with your talent in the kitchen when feeling so grotty, will try both these recipes xxx
Feel better soon. Is instacart a option where you are. Glad you are well enough to cook. My late husband always got me ice cream when i was not well.
Sorry for your illness. I wish you a quick recovery, and thank you for your recipes. I will try to prepare the muffins for next weekend. GOD Bless you! All the Best xxx! 👍🌺💕🙏///
I can hear in your voice that you are not feeling well. Prayers for a speedy recovery. Wonderful content as always.
Thank you for still providing us with a video even with you being sick. You are the BEST! I hope you get to feeling better soon.
Hello Nicolas...👋!!! I'm a fan of your channel. I really like your content. I'm Brazilian, but I love your culture and your country. Congratulations on your work. A big hug. ✌🤍👍
Sorry to hear you’ve been poorly Nicolas. Plenty of cups of tea with honey and lemon to do along with those muffins will do the trick!
Thank you for a very useful episode. Lots of us get sick this time of year and stay in bed. You have inspired me not to do that again. Feel better. (Start taking 1000 MG chewable Vitamin C daily to ward off sinus and upper respiratory virus. I've been doing it for 35 years. It works wonders for your immune system and will help you keep a clear voice.)
Dear Nicholas, I am so sorry to hear you have been unwell- thank you for this video and I hope you are better very soon❤
Nicolas, I am so sorry that you are feeling unwell. You still look so handsome. Both of your recipes are on my to make list. Also, I love your pumpkin pot. I have never seen one like that. Continue to take good care of yourself.
Dear Nicolas, thank you for making this episode, even though you were not feeling well. I recommend drinking honey and lemon, mixed with some boiling water, or putting honey onto croissants or toast to eat, as it sooths the throat, and has properties to aid recovery. I wish you better, as I am sure we all do on here. Your muffins look delicious! Blessings and love from sunny, Autumn Devon. xxx
take care💞 me and my whole family were sick recently ,changing of seasons is tough, it takes a toll on the body💞🌛
I am so sorry to hear you were sick. The two recipes sound absolutely divine! Lots of rest and liquids as you already know. See you soon.
Nicolas, I hope you are feeling better. Thank you for sharing your recipes; they both looked delicious.
Wishing you a speedy recovery! 🌷🐶💕
I’m also sorry your feeling I’ll. You are such a classy young man. I’m an old grandma but I so enjoy watching you. Feel better soon.
Very clever muffin recipe. Thank you for sharing. Hope you will feel better soon. A lady from India gave me a nice recipe to use when feeling ill that I will share with you here. Start with fresh ginger shaved (about a tablespoon) and 2 or three slices of lemon. Place the ginger and lemon in a small pot water and bring to a boil. Boil for at least a minute. Remove the pot from the stove and steep your favorite tea in the pot. Place some honey (to taste) into the bottom of your tea cup. Pour your steep tea into the tea cup and enjoy. 🍋🫖
I hope you are feeling much better now. It's so difficult to get sick back to back, this happened to me when I moved to England. I felt like I spent a year with a cold!
Kudos to you Nic for having the fortitude to get up and dressed then making a video. Get lots of good rest be safe be well from Denmark 🇩🇰 😀
Wishing you better, Nicholas. ❤️ Your massive effort to keep us all entertained is very much appreciated, but we do want your health and well-being to come first. Don’t forget to make yourself some chicken broth, it’s supposed to be excellent for colds. 🌺
Good evening Nicolas! Sending you prayers for healing and speedy recovery! So sweet of you to do this video! Thank you for being you cause only you would think of us and make this video. Now take it easy take care and get plenty of rest!! The chocolate muffins and pasta look so delicious 😋 Love 💕 and hugs from california
We are all hoping you have a speedy recovery. Thank you for taking the time to send these lovely recipes. Perfect for Autumn! Can't wait to try. I love oats and sweet potatoes and chocolate so these are a "win" before even starting!
Aww, sorry to hear you’ve been unwell Nicholas! Thank you for this lovely video :) wishing you a speedy recovery xx
Thank you for sharing the recipes! Those muffins looked and sounded like they would taste great! I may try soon and thank you for measuring in cups as that is what we use. Hope you are feeling better. I currently have Covid, again. So I have been staying in, resting, keeping hydrated, and eating comfort foods. Again, hope you are back in good health soon! 🙏🏻
Hope you're feeling better, Nicholas! Your china pattern is absolutely beautiful and whimsical. I also love the way your flatware appears to match it in style.
Take care Nicolas. Thanks for taking the time to share and do not be worry for anything else. As always it was a delicatessen to see your show.
Wish you a quick recovery. Nice recipes using vegetable in the fall season. Will surely try the chocolate muffin this week. Thanks for the sharing.
Dear Nicholas - I hope you are feeling better! What a champion to make a video for us when you are under the weather! You are so cute, I could pinch your cheek. Don't worry, I'm old enough to be your Granny! Always enjoy a visit from you! The squash pasta sounds great and I will try it since I just bought a butternut squash. xoxo from Merida, Yucatan, Mexico
Get well darling, as you have such grand beauty for living well and then offering to us all!
Nicolas, You have given us all comfort and inspiration on taking care of ourselves, especially as the winter season of maladies approach. These recipes sound delish and EASY, just what one craves when not feeling 100%! I hope you were able to take in a bit of the beauty of the Highlands before returning home. Thank you again for your culinary creativity & best wishes for feeling completely recuperated soon!
Love the pug tray! We have a pug and love her so much!! Your muffins look delicious! Hope you get to feeling better quickly. Look forward to your videos each week. Take care of yourself.....
Thanks for sharing even when you are feeling crummy. Hope you feel better soon!
I loved this video. The recipes looked delightful! Hope you feel better. Take care
Hi Nic👋, feel better . You’re such a Trooper, we appreciate you taking the time to film this video. Have a great week !
You're just YOU and who can't love that person 🥰🤗 Thank you for sharing your special Fairford Chocolate Sweet Potato muffin recipe with us! ❤️
Everything you do turns to gold; a lovely vlog.
Your vídeos make us learn to love ourselves..thank you.
Best wishes for improved health quickly. You’re so comforting to watch. Thanks for being beautiful.
Thank you for posting your nice video even though you're under the weather. Wishing you better health very soon!
Oh!! Nicolas - my heart went out to you - you did not look well - but you did amazingly well all things considered - I am going to try your muffin recipe but perhaps with pumpkin - your muffins looked incredibly moist - yummy!! - please take care - we love you - we don't want you to be ill - lots of vitamin "C" Nicolas - much love.
Hope you feel better soon Nicholas and I really enjoyed the video - very relaxing. Thank you
I hope you're feeling better. Thanks for the recipes!
Another lovely vlog, thank you. I hope you're feeling better x
OMG you sound so sick! 😕 I hope you recover soon, the delicious food you are making will certainly help you heal, both in the making and the eating! I am an American relocated to Ireland 6 years ago. I have found it so difficult to back here due to having to always translate weights from Irish recipes to cups and spoons, as well as oven heat to celsius from fahrenheit in my American recipes! I agree that measuring cups are much easier than weight. Those muffins look delicious! Get well soon!
My sweet Friend lm praying for you to be well. This is the time that colds pup up so take care. I loved your fairford chocolate muffins my favorite. I will give it a go nicely done . Plus you have the pasta love that kind . Please sending my best wishes to you my sweet Nicolas l loved your cooking you are one of the best people that does cooking with ease. Have a healthy week. See you soon love xx.
So sorry to hear that you’re under the weather. However, you managed to put together an another entertaining and informative vlog. It’s one thing setting up for filming it then there is the effort and patience of editing it and posting. In a way it wise to keep yourself busy while you’re sick. It helps you concentrate on other things besides being sick. Feel better soon. 👍🙏😎
Get well soon, Nicolas! (What a bummer to be sick)! Chocolate anything is my weakness and your muffin recipe is no exception! But you have the right combination of food for the soul, tea, and a furry friend to get you through! Warm hugs!
Love the pug tray Nicolas. There are so many lovely things in your house. It is a joy to have them shared with us each week. Thank you for taking the trouble to be with us this time even although you have not been feeling well. The recipes were lovely. I look forward to ordering some things from you soon. Take good care of yourself.
God bless. Get well soon, you beautiful soul.
Nick, so sorry you have been ill! You were a real trooper to make this video! Hope you feel well soon.
Wow, the 'I am sick' voice heightens the cuteness 😍
Just found this. Sorry you had so many bouts of illness. I'm in awe of anyone who creates their own recipes. I usually follow a recipe as written, then play around with modifications. Thank you for forging ahead even though you were not feeling well. Your stories and recipes and videos are lovely. Greetings from Michigan, USA.
Thank you for making the effort and posting this wonderful video. Sorry you don’t feel well, Nicolas. Hope you take good care and feel real better soon 🌺
Nicolas, so good to.see you back again, I’ve missed you and always enjoy your videos. Ahh, I’ve always enjoyed you and your ways, such a comfort to me !!!! Thanks, I,shall try muffin recipe, yum.
Poor Nicholas! I’ve been sick for 2 weeks, and I rarely get sick…so frustrating! Hope you feel better, thank you for the lovely recipes!
so sorry that you are sick! More tea and muffins!! I hope that this week will bring heath and happiness ! The muffins look delicious! Great pasta dish!
I hope you are feeling better soon. Eating nutrious meals like you include in your videos and your squash recipe here is the best way to ease yourself into better health and also getting all the rest you need.
Sorry you're feeling under the weather. The body has a way of making us slow down and take care of ourselves. You're good because if I don't feel good all I want to do is have some tea, a piece of toast/honey and maybe a boiled egg for breakfast. Feel better soon! 🤒
Good afternoon Nicolas! Your chocolate muffins and pasta look delicious! Praying that you will feel better soon! 💕
These look heavenly! I hope you feel better real soon.
What a Trooper battling a head cold to produce a video for the followers. Indeed The Show Must Go On.. Well Done.
I'm happy to try a recipe without eggs(I'm allergic to egg whites) so Thanks so much. Hope you feel better soon♥️
Take care. Appreciate that you were able to cook and film while feeling unwell.
Thank you for your lovely recipes! I hope you feel better soon! 🌸
Get Well Soon ! 🌸
I hope you recover quickly Nicolas I think I may be coming down with something Take care mate
I hope you're starting to feel much better Nicholas . I appreciate the effort you put into making this when you're not well . Your recipes look delicious and I can't wait to make them . 💕🙏🇨🇦
Feel better soon, Nicolas & thank you for making & sharing this video.❤
Muffins looked Fab, love to try them. I hope you start feeling better darlin. You look perfect lol sending love from Las Vegas✨✨✨
Get well soon my dear Nicolas! 🤗😍😘
Sorry To Hear You are Sick . Take Good Care of Yourself and Get Better Quickly !! Thanks For Sharing The Recipes .
Sending get well wishes….remember to continue wearing a mask in public areas when close to people and to frequently wash your hands to keep future illness away. I admire your energy even while ill in creating these tasty looking treats. And yes, I agree…… I find the Imperial system that is still in use in America with cups, tablespoons, teaspoons etc much easier in baking than using scales with grams
Thank you so much for sharing with us i pray you get well soon.🦋
You are darling. Hope you feel better soon!
