    I love mushroom soup. Especially at this time of year.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Face, that sounds lovely. Did you cook your steak with butter? If so, next time, no need for water. Just deglaze the pan with the vinegar (if you use it, or a drop of wine - white as you are using cream or even whisky or brandy),then add the mushrooms (which I assume still have the butter and garlic they were cooked in),then swish the cream in that. I like to slice my mushrooms thinly for sauces.

    Yeah it was a bit of an improvised recipe so I'm sure I can make it even better in future, unfortunately there was no booze in the house! Well apart from lager, and I'm not sure that would have worked!

    Lager would work for chicken!

    Seriously. Beer is used like wine in cooking. Different types of beer for different types of meat. Cooking with cider is lovely too. But we digress from mushrooms!

    does anyone else go hunting for mushrooms in the spring? You can find lots of tips on the web for where to look and what kinds to look for. Here is my favorite, by far, the morel:

    Fry some lardons and some shallots gently (let the fat on the lardons melt - you don't want them to go crispy), take them out, add a bit of oil if necessary and brown the chicken, put the lardons and shallots back in, (at this stage if you have some whiskey, brandy or whatever, you can flambe the chicken - not essential), sprinkle with a tablespoon or two of flour and stir together. Add the beer (or half beer and half chicken stock) - give it another stir. Add mushrooms (little baby button ones maybe) but leave them on the top. Cook until chicken tender. Take chicken out, cover and keep warm. Reduce cooking liquid, add cream, put chicken back in and enjoy!

    OK... not too off topic because there are mushrooms in the recipe!

    The first recipe I can think of when thinking of MUSHROOM is the spinaceous salad :P
    i like this :P

    1..saute chopped garlic & bacon in the olive oil.
    and add salt & pepper, soy(if you have it ..) or balsamic vinegar.

    2..add spinach and sliced mushroom, and mix together roughly.
    spinach and mushroom are almost raw.

    3..squirt it with a bit of lemon.

    im sorry.. :( I can't explain in English well..
    do you have a recipe for matsutake?
    shimeji?
    enoki?
    :)

    I used to do this with my Mom when I was a kid. We lived in the country and would come home with a TON of them... I'm not a big fan of mushrooms in general but morels are just plain awesome! Lightly breaded and sauteed is the best!

    if you take a tablespoon of pure olive oil and saute some minced shallot, a touch of S&P and some rosemary until the shallot just starts to brown, then add roughly chopped Morels, 2 oz white wine and 2 oz of chicken stock, then reduce by 75%, then add 2 oz of heavy cream and reduce until slightly thick...you hav something amazing......
