Classic pasta primavera the way Le Cirque used to make it back in the 1980s: Angel hair with fresh spring vegetables and cream.
Wild Mushroom Recipes
A huge selection wild mushroom recipes from all over the world, using mushrooms from all over North America. Everything from morels to chanterelles and oyster mushrooms, to more esoteric wild mushrooms like saffron milk caps and black trumpets.
You name it, if it has wild mushrooms, it is in this category, from roasted hen of the woods "steaks," to Chinese mushroom stir fry, Spanish mushroom rice or porcini risotto, it's here. I also have some recipes where mushrooms play harmony, like my mushroom sauce for steak.
Porcini Powder
Porcini powder is a powerful way to add savory flavors to whatever it is you are cooking. Here’s how to make it at home.
Chinese Braised Mushrooms
Chinese red-cooked, braised mushrooms are a warm, wintry way to enjoy any meaty mushroom.

Ricotta Gnudi
When I had Chef April Bloomfield’s ricotta gnudi in New York at the James Beard Awards, and I had to recreate them, only with my own twist: A sauce of ramps and fresh porcini I found in the High Sierra.
