  I used mint instead of tarragon as we don't like it. Next time I think I will fry some streaky bacon until crisp and sprinkle over top just before serving. Great for mid week as super quick and tasty too.

  This was really yummy, I used basil instead of tarragon and grated parmesan over the top just before serving. Really tasty - will definitely be in my regulars repertoire now.

  Nice - tarragon gives it tang. Used philidelphia instead of mascapone.

  Hmm.... not sure about this one. With all the lovely ingredients, it should have tasted sublime but it didn't. The texture was stodgy and it needed something extra to lift it but I'm not sure what. Served with crusty French bread topped with spicy houmous which added some extra flavour.

  Taste was a bit heavy. But it looked really nice with all the green ingredients.
