Product Description

Review

"'Groundbreaking work' The Independent 'A delightful book...[with]...scrumptious recipes' The Sunday Times"


Product Description

There are not many people who have been collecting, cooking and devising recipes for mushrooms for over 60 years, but Antonio Carluccio is one. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mouthwatering adventures, 5 Feb 2004
By A Customer
The book is beautifully written and illustrated with superb clear photograhs. Antonio Carluccio's enthusiasm for the collection of wild mushrooms and his talent as a chef are both clearly conveyed as he leads us first through the pleasures of the 'Quiet Hunt' with precise descriptions and photographs to persuade the novice hunter to embark on the adventure and then into the kitchen to make the most of the hsrvest. The warnings are there about the poisonous varieties and he clearly describes the culprits and their effects. What better way to spend a quiet autumn Saturday morning than scouring woods for the free delicacies and then to return home with the booty to concoct some gorgeous dish? It makes such sense to combine the two past-times in one wonderful book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Look and learn...., 23 Sep 2004
By Norman Yap "londonnorman" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In picking mushrooms, there are 2 approaches:
- show the good and the bad and have copious notes to explain the two
- show only the good and advise the picker to ignore or discard anything that doesn't appear in the book.

Carluccio picks the former and together with a load of anecdotes and lessons learnt from his decades of probing, sniffing, pinching and brushing, writes a book bursting with intelligent writing, simple but striking recipes and oozing with his personality.

I particularly liked his observations on Mycological Savoir Faire, how not to pick in such a way that it kills off the spores behind it, how to leave even deadly poisonous fungi alone as all fungi have a function in life and so on. If the man wasn't a chef of the highest order, he'd have been a Zen monk.

Get this book, it is great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Funghi, 13 Feb 2006
By Gary Nicklin (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Complete Mushroom Book: The Quiet Hunt (Paperback)
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.
