I tried this and used a mixture of mushrooms – portobello, shitake, and chestnut…added a real twist and tasty too.

Thanks Cuthbert – I wanted to use chestnut mushrooms and porcini, but had to improvise as I couldn’t get hold of any porcini! Glad you enjoyed this one too.

I’ve been searching on the web looking for ideas on how to get our weblog coded, your general design and style are fantastic. Did you actually code it yourself or did you employ a coder to get it done on your behalf?
