  Very tasty, sometimes I caught myself eating it on its own, the tarragon comes through very nicely.

  Absolutely gorgeous. Very tasty - I don't like mushrooms but wow I liked this! Would be a great Xmas starter. Highly recommended.

  Really beautiful starter suitable for everyone! I veganised it and used margarine and no creme fraiche, but it was rich enough without it, in fact it may have spoilt the flavour. It was really delicious!

  I'm vegetarian, but my partner is not, and we both love this recipe. I use low fat natural yoghurt instead of creme fresh and a finely chopped red onion (fridge staples) instead of leeks and shallots. I've made it as a starter, made it as mini canepes at a dinner party and we have had it on two halves of a toasted english muffin with a salad as a main. Beautiful!

  Served this last night and it was a huge hit. I used re-hydrated mixed forest mushrooms instead of fresh, and the flavour was excellent. Mine looked a lot greener than the picture (too much leek maybe), but no one seemed to mind! Great recipe!
