Mushrooms and Truffles (The Carluccio's Collection) Book

In Italy, fungi--especially the porcini (Boletus edulis)--are almost compulsory eating and many Italians also go hunting for them when they are in season. In Mushrooms and Truffles, Antonio Carluccio guides the reader through the various types of mushrooms found in Italy and offers useful guidelines to collecting them. Recipes include "Uova al Tartufo" (Truffled Eggs), "Funghi Conciati" (Marinated Mushrooms) and "Risotto ai Funghi" (Mushroom Risotto). The book is illustrated with photographs taken by Priscilla Carluccio and it forms part of The Carluccio's Collection. It will give you all the most important information to become a mycophagist or even to enable you to have the pleasure of going collecting your own fungi in the woods--although only if accompanied by an expert and with permission. --Dale KneenRead More
