Many years ago, after trying Tofurky for the first and last time, I made this stuffed tofu for Thanksgiving. The kids loved it despite their disdain of mushrooms. Tegan has requested the recipe to make for her friends in Abu Dhabi when they celebrate this American holiday. The idea comes from the prepared food case […]
Baked Eggs with Spinach and Mushrooms
This is for Lewis. Lewis loves oozing yolks. I like my eggs solidified with the yolks and whites thoroughly mixed together. I did dip into the spinach and mushrooms. Delicious. You can change this up for what you have at hand. Instead of shallots, substitute scallions, onions, leeks, or ramps. Use any green you would […]
Freezing Mushrooms
Top Row: Crimini, Hen of the Woods (Maitake), Golden Enoki, Lion’s Mane, Chestnut Middle Row: Shiitake, Blue Oyster, King Trumpet, Enoki, Mediterranean Oyster Bottom Row: Shimeji, Pink Oyster, Nameko, White Button There are only 2 more weeks of farmers’ markets here in Bucks County and I stopped by two to gather up as many mushroom […]
Italian Mushroom and Barley Soup with Wild Mountain Oregano
Updated January 1, 2026 Brrrr. Baby, it’s cold outside. No better time for soup than today. As I gathered the ingredients, I found I had Italian barley, Italian olive oil from our friends Ann and André, and Italian wild mountain oregano that I just scored from Metropolitan Seafood. With all local produce from the Wrightstown […]
Stuffed Baked Potatoes with Maitake Mushrooms, Caramelized Shallots, and Sour Cream
So good. Far from healthy, this serves as a well-deserved treat. Celebrate the beginning of Fall, when it shows up, with these potatoes slathered in butter, sour cream, caramelized shallots, and mushrooms. This is listed as a vegetable side dish but most definitely can serve, with it’s calorie packed depth of flavor, as a main […]
Shiitake Mushroom Barley Patties
Any mushroom will do here. The barley is such a classic combination with mushrooms, that I’m reluctant to suggest any other substitution. The addition of celery, onion, and parsley was inspired by mushroom barley soup. I added the scallions for an additional layer of flavor. Other than that, I kept these simple to allow the […]
Roasted Radicchio, Mushroom, Potato, and Manchego Cheese Gratin
Lewis, my harshest critic, loved this casserole!!! Can we even call the above a casserole? Resisting any food snobbery, we’ll leave it as named, a meal in a baking dish. Until the taste reveal. The German Butterball potatoes really made this dish. These potatoes were freshly dug at Rosie and Dan’s Swallow Hill Farm. Yukon […]
Wild Mushroom and Potato Frittata
Bet you think I spent the weekend rambling through the rainswept woods, foraging for mushrooms, and picnicking on moss.I much prefer leaving all that rambling to the professionals. Like Chris and Patty Darrah at Mainly Mushrooms. The fall harvest is in and the selection is staggering. Black foot, cauliflower, hen-of-the-woods, chantarelle, and more. I usually […]
