A Cook's Initiation into the Gorgeous World of Mushrooms

“Sumptuous photography . . . the minimalist dishes showcase a nearly infinite range of flavors and textures you can achieve with just a few ingredients.” —New York Daily News

More than one hundred color photographs capture the unique characteristics and, indeed, the elegance, of each type of mushroom, providing tempting visuals for the dishes featured in the book. An evocative object in itself, A Cook’s Initiation into the Gorgeous World of Mushrooms will be equally at home on a gourmet’s kitchen countertop or in the hands of a nature lover.
