Oooh, how I wish I could be in Bristol this weekend.  They are having a Cary Grant Festival – it looks amazing.  One of the organisers Charlotte Croft emailed last year to ask if I would send Cary’s Mushroom Canapés recipe which I duly did.  They will be serving some of these delightful little morsels again this year, at the gala screening of Bringing Up Baby which is on Sunday 17th July – see here for tickets.
