Known as "the mushroom man", Antonio Carluccio, whose Neal Street Restaurant in London is a mecca for mushroom and truffle lovers from all over the world, has been collecting, cooking and devising recipes for mushrooms for over 60 years.
In this book he draws on his unrivalled knowledge and expertise to bring together over 100 recipes that make the most of readily available mushrooms in dishes ranging from classic to contemporary via oriental and Eastern European.
And for those who want to join in the thrill of hunting for their own mushrooms - the quiet hunt - the book starts with an authoritative well-illustrated field guide that helps distinguish between edible wild mushrooms and their poisonous, lookalike relations.
This unique book, beautifully illustrated with superb, specially commissioned food photography by Alastair Hendy will inspire and inform, and will bring the pleasures of mushrooms to a wider audience than ever before.
