Keep a copy in your kitchen and buy another for your favorite mushroom lover.” — Michele Anna Jordan, Chef, author of Vinaigrettes and Other Dressings and More Than Meatballs “If you love the thrill of the mushroom hunt and bringing back your trophies to feast on as much as I do, this is a must-have book. Chock-full of mushroom lore, serious fungi knowledge, and inspired recipes for using mushrooms in every way, Alison and Merry welcome you into their wild and adventuresome world with open arms.” — Georgeanne Brennan, author, A Pig in Provence and owner, La Vie Rustic “A truly authentic West Coast gem!

I love the abundant candy cap recipes! The cookbook makes a great gift, too.” — Anna Moore, The Mushroom Lady of Florence Oregon “Merry and Alison have created a masterpiece—an invaluable resource that appeals to the wild-foods enthusiast as well as the gourmet chef. They explore the delights of the lesser-known as well as the more common wild mushrooms that populate the Pacific north coast. Well-written and informative, this treasure- trove of recipes ranges from appetizers to dessert!” — Traci and Barney Barnwell, mushroom enthusiasts and home cooks,Eureka, Calif. “I recommend The Wild Mushroom Cookbook to anyone interested in cooking, wild foraging, mushrooms, or the West Coast. With something for everyone, it would be a great addition to your shelf—a cookbook destined for many well- worn pages.” — Virginia Till, Fungi Magazine “This very interesting cookbook features mushroom recipes that many wild mushroom cookbooks ignore. I look forward to serving chanterelle pesto on gemelli pasta for our club’s next potluck. The seven recipes for pig’s ears alone make the book valuable to me—it’s one I’ll use frequently.” — Philip Tedeschi, Michigan Mushroom Hunters’ Club The Wild Mushroom Cookbook Recipes from Mendocino Alison Gardner Merry Winslow Illustrations by Merry Winslow The Wild Mushroom Cookbook Recipes from Mendocino Copyright © 2014 by Alison Gardner and Merry Winslow All rights reserved.
