Many people cook mushrooms the same way-sautéed in butter or oil- and end up being disappointed with the results. That's a shame, because not only are mushrooms a low-fat, nutritious and environmentally sustainable food, they are incredibly flavorful if handled properly. Explore how and why mushrooms act differently from other foods in the kitchen. In this class, you'll learn simple cooking techniques developed to bring out the diverse flavors of mushrooms, safety tips about preparing wild mushrooms, USDA-recommended preservation skills, and how to deal with kitchen molds- because they are fungi, too! After this class, you will never look at mushrooms as just pizza topping again.
