Hannah- The egg cakes were burnt as they were put in the oven to keep warm.  We have pictured the only non burnt one.  The recipe felt quite retro, a bit 70's.  The taste was rich but maybe three egg pancakes was too many, I maybe should have stuck to one.  Chopped up in smaller pieces this would be good as party food.  The mushroom pate was divine, such a rich creamy flavour, but, i'm sad to say, more suited to being spread on toast.

Alan- Bit rich!
