Add the maple syrup and cook for another 5 minutes, until the chanterelles start to soften and become brown and caramelised around the edges. Stir through the parsley and cook for a minute or two longer.

Meanwhile, start cooking the mushrooms. Add the butter to a separate frying pan over medium heat and, when it starts to melt, stir in the pepper flakes. As soon as the butter starts to bubble, add the chanterelles and cook for 3–4 minutes.

Lightly grease a pan with butter and place over medium–high heat. Once hot, pour in some of the batter and swirl it around to form a thin crΓͺpe-style pancake. Cook for a couple of minutes on each side, until golden and slightly crisp around the edges. Repeat until you’ve used up all of the batter.

To make the pancakes, beat the eggs in a mixing bowl, then add the flour, milk, salt and a couple of grinds of black pepper and whisk until well combined. The batter should be a fairly thin consistency. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes and when ready, add the melted butter to the batter and mix well.

πŸ’₯πŸ“£ My new book will be out on 7 May! Order your copy now: geni.us/PeaceMakers. It’s the exciting story of the men and women of the Foreign Office in WWII. In a world torn apart by war, they evacuated UK citizens, picked up intel in shadowy corners, corralled allies and organised PoW escape lines.

A section from In The Park - pink background, text reads: People are fascinating and familiar here. They bring picnics, books,
dogs, frisbees, footballs, bunting and a circus kit. They come to bake in
the sun or to think, to talk privately on the phone or to a friend or with
a group to celebrate a birthday. They stay for a while or cycle through.
Sometimes it’s calm and beautiful, but also edgy or a place to feel sad
or lonely. It’s a space we can go without buying a coffee or knowing a
code – without a ticket to get in. Our shared gardens.
A woman at the entrance talks to her dachshund, who is refusing to go

No city shaped the modern world quite like London – a centre of global influence in the 19th century.

But beyond the familiar stories of power and politics, its true life played out in the streets. 'Forgotten London' uncovers these stories, bringing to life those who made the city what it was.
