    Not Only Spinach But Also Mushroom - Little Pastries to Have with Drinks

    Two of my favourite appetizers to have with drinks.
    Mushroom Savouries and Spinach Puffs
    Both have been particularly popular when I've served them
    I had some mushroom filling leftover, so what better way to use it up try the Spinach Puff Method
    So here ya go...yet another idea to feed those guests
