100 Edible Mushrooms: With Tested Recipes |
John D. Moore, Michael Kuo and Darvin DeShazer |
This is a fully illustrated and user-friendly reference book that tells where and when to find edible mushrooms - with delicious recipes for each. With a dash of humor and a dollop of science, Michael Kuo takes the mystery out of mushroom hunting and cooking. Like his earlier and very popular book Morels, "100 Edible Mushrooms" is written in the author's inimitable, engaging, and appealingly humorous style, taking the reader on the hunt through forest and kitchen in search of culinary delights and mycological pleasures. Kuo describes in detail how to identify each species, where and when to find them, and how to cook them in creative and delicious recipes. The mushrooms presented in the book are the most-often eaten varieties, including a description of the button mushrooms found in the grocery store. All of the mushrooms have at least one full-color illustration and some several more to aid in identification and distinction of look-alike and nonedible species. It is an indispensable book for mushroom hunters, cooks, and naturalists.

The Mushroom Feast: A Celebration of all Edible Fungi, Cultivated, Wild and Dried, with Recipes |
Jane Grigson |
The Mushroom Feast is an indispensable classic for all those who love mushrooms. It is a fine, timeless, literary cookbook. Truffles...ceps...morels, they all conjure visions of one of the most intriguing and subtle of all gastronomic treats. Yet amateur cooks can be mystified by how best to prepare them, while epicures hunger for new ways to expand their repertoires. With more than 250 recipes, Jane Grigson describes the preparation of the best fresh and preserved mushrooms. Besides the traditional use of mushrooms to enhance meat and vegetable dishes, edible fungi are made into pate, powdered, pureed into mushroom ketchup, baked into a flan (an Alice B. Toklas specialty), baked as a cake and used in many other dishes - from the simple to the highly sophisticated - for soups, sauces, stuffings, main courses, too intriguing to resist. Included are helpful tips for selecting and preserving the best edible mushrooms (both wild and cultivated), the folklore behind the recipes, a brief history of mushroom cultivation, guides to distinguish edible from poisonous fungi for those who venture to pick their own, and charming line drawings of the twenty-one most common species.
