Wild Mushrooms

Out Of Print... Fear of wild mushrooms is so deep seated in Britain as a whole as to be almost on the level of the primeval fear of the wolf! This is not only a great pity but very strange, since the inhabitants of our neighbouring European countries are familiar with, and consume large quantities of these wild mushrooms that are both delicious and easily found in our woods and fields. This book is therefore primarily intended for those whose interest lies in eating good, wild mushrooms rather than simply studying them, and to this end it shows the reader when and where to find them, as well as how to identify them, and Marie-France Addinall provides a variety of original and traditional family recipes for preparing them. The beautiful illustrations by Irene Bathe are works of art in themselves, as well as of practical use in the identification of the mushrooms and the habitat in which they are most likely to be found. Amusingly written, very informative, beautifully illustrated and a cooks delight, this book will appeal equaUy to the wild mushroom hunter, the artist and the gourmet.
