Known as the 'mushroom man', Carluccio's Neal Street Restaurant in London's Covent Garden is a mecca for mushroom and truffle lovers from all over the world. Carluccio's expertise is unrivalled and this book, with over 100 recipes that make the most of readily available mushrooms in dishes ranging from classic to contemporary via oriental and Eastern European, will not disappoint. In addition, for those who want to join in the thrill of hunting for their own mushrooms - the quiet hunt - The Complete Mushroom Book offers a detailed and authoritative well-illustrated field guide that helps distinguish between edible wild mushrooms and their poisonous look alikes. This unique book, with specially commissioned photography by Alastair Hendy, will inspire and inform and bring the pleasure of mushrooms available to a wider audience.

I'm a huge mushroom fan when it comes to food, so when I received this book as a present I was over the moon. The book is split into two sections, the first deals with identifying wild mushrooms and which are the best for eating, and the second part contains the recipes.
The recipes are great and very accessible. I haven't been on a mushroom hunt yet, but my local greengrocer regularly stocks wild mushrooms, so I've had the chance to try a few of the recipes, and very good they are too.

A good book. Clearly identifies edible varieties and gives taste guide. Includes a number of interesting recipies so that you can make use of the mushrooms that you have gathered. A number of the mushrooms featured are not typical to the UK.

This is a truly remarkably well written and highly interesting and leading work on wild mushrooms, cooking, safety, and codes of conduct. Antonio realy cares about the world he forages in and gives advice as to how to follow the same way. His accurate discriptions on edible mushrooms along with his coding for poisonous or harmful mushrooms is easy and helpful, I have found his 100 recipes very nutrisious and appetizing and I will be keeping his book on my shelves for the rest of my life.

Fabulous book - but not to be relied upon for identification
Antonio Carluccio's passion for his subject makes my heart sing: Groves of trees are his cathedrals, mossy motes his nave and chancel. Read more

There's not mush-room to write a full review here..
If you don't like mushrooms, read this and they'll soon grow on you! If however, you are a fun-guy like me, you'll love it.
