Mushrooms:
Hobbit or no, it is grand that the wondrous mushroom has become so readily available and so diverse. It wasn’t too long ago that if you could find mushrooms at all it was only the little white button type. Now of course with the Renaissance in culinary interest, nearly every market carries beautiful fresh mushrooms and often a rather staggering array of varieties.
One of the excellent things about mushrooms is that since they are not high in nutritional value, that means they have very few calories. You can add them to things and get a lot of satisfaction and enjoyment without compromising your diet. You could forgo the ham and cheese in your omelet, add an entire cup of lightly sautéed mushrooms instead and have a delectable and satisfying meal.
Sonoma county, a place renowned for its interest in gastronomy, is fortunate to have access to an excellent selection fresh, locally grown mushrooms, thanks to Gourmet Mushrooms Inc. a producer of many varieties of mushrooms in Sebastopol, California. You will find recipes and serving suggestions on their web page and here are some additional Mushroom Recipes that you may enjoy adding to your repertoire.
And here’s a bonus: On Saturday, February 12, Gourmet Mushrooms will be hosting a tour of their facility that includes a wine and mushroom tasting. Find out more here.
