Thank you to all who voted and participated in the Q&A 🤝

The feedback was invaluable. As said previously, got some exciting changes and content additions that will take things up a notch… more on that next week.

Keep an eye out for the next Substack which will cover a great recipe on preserving one of my favorite Summer ingredients that you can have in pantry for the Fall & Winter, as Summer produce is winding down…

Today is all about Mushrooms 🍄 🙌

*Note: this post exceeded email limit again so open in Substack or Substack App to view full post. 🙏

This is, without a doubt, one of the most diverse and exciting culinary ingredient categories to explore. Most people are familiar with a few varieties but miss out on a whole treasure of trove of lesser known options. Add to that

You may also avoid buying “new” varieties because you have no idea 1) best way to cook them, 2) flavors that harmonize and complement said mushroom.

There is so much variety in mushroom world 🍄 🌍 with flavors of sweet and piney to deeply earthy and meaty… one thing is for certain… mushrooms contain a ton of umami so being adept at cooking a number of varieties makes you a better cook…. and tastier food opportunities 🤌🤌

I’ve picked 12 and we are going to hit:

Buying & Storage

Dried vs Fresh

Mushroom Types

Cooking Recommendations By Type

Flavor Suggestions

It’s going to be tasty…

Wonderful World of Mushrooms
