"'When all's said and written, there's nothing better than field mushrooms that you have gathered yourself, on toast, for breakfast.' Jane Grigson, The Mushroom Feast"


Product Description

'When all's said and written, there's nothing better than field mushrooms that you have gathered yourself, on toast, for breakfast.' Jane Grigson, The Mushroom Feast 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. With more than 250 recipes, Jane Grigson describes the preparation of the best fresh and preserved mushrooms. 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 line drawings of the twenty-one most common species. Jane Grigson was one of the leading cookery writers of her generation. In 1968 she began her long association with the Observer Colour Magazine for whom she wrote right up to her death in March 1990.

5.0 out of 5 stars from the dustjacket, 22 April 2008
By Cooks Bookery (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mushroom Feast: A Celebration of all edible fungi -- cultivated, wild, and dried varieties- with more than 250 Recipes in which the Mushroom is the occasion for the Feast (Hardcover)
Here is a book for dedicated mushroom hunters who want to make the most of their gastronomic treasures and for the discriminating cooks who value the ineffable flavor that any fine mushroom imparts, be it cultivated or wild. Edible fungi of all kinds have been the inspiration since the seventeenth century for the finest recipes in every important cuisine. Cooking her way through this rich heritage, Jane Grigson, an inveterate mushroom hunter who has always enjoyed the feast that follows the pleasures of a splendid day's pickings, now shares the best of the recipes she herself has perfected as she has borrowed, recreated, invented dishes designed to make use of mushrooms in subtle, surprising ways, and to feature different delectable varieties to their best advantage.

Drawings of the twenty-one most common species and information about each one (physical characteristics, habitat, culinary properties) prepare the reader for the heart of the book- Grigson's choice array of recipes for mushrooms in soups, sauces, stuffings; dishes in which the mushroom is the main ingredient; meat, poultry, and fish dishes in which it is the essential flavoring; and, finally, a sampling of Japanese and Chinese recipes calling for the lovely, luxurious shiitake or the crunchy wood ear (both available here, dried).

One of the particular joys of this book is Jane Grigson's infectious enthusiasm for her Subject. Having pursued the mushroom for more than twenty years and being, blessed with a superb palate, she is able to describe the precise taste and texture of a particular species. And she is not a snob she appreciates the fresh cultivated, store bought variety or the common field mushroom at the same time as she delights in a prized truffle, because she knows the properties of each. She understands the affinities that certain mushrooms have for other ingredients, when they act as a foil, give their all to a dish, or create a perfect marriage She tells us about the best ways of preserving mushrooms drying and freezing (Only up to a point ), as well as storing away the miraculous French duxelles, which can then be spooned out like gold to enhance almost any dish. The bits of history about mushroom cultivation, the tore behind a recipe, the lure of a hushed woods when girolles have sprung up these are among the many delights that make this book so deliciously tempting.

Jane Grigson. is the author of The Art of Charcuterie (1968). and Good Things ( 1971), which are published by Alfred A. Knopf.
