Save £5 with this combo!!!


 

This combo blends book and DVD and will be enjoyed both those starting out on the Mushroom journey and expert mycologists alike.

The first book from our handbook series, Mushrooms, by John Wright starts with a brief introduction to mushroom biology and taxonomy. John then explains the ins and outs of collecting, including relevant UK laws, conservation notes, practical tips and identification techniques, complete with diagrams and line drawings.

He also introduces the River Cottage Magic Seven Challenge, a great first test that will inspire everyone to put their wellies on. Then he describes and distinguishes more than sixty of the species we are most likely to come across during forays in Britain's forests and clearings: old friends the Chanterelle and Cep, as well as a whole colourful host of more unfamiliar names - edible species including the Velvet Shank, the Horn of Plenty, the Amethyst Deceiver, the Giant Puffball and the Chicken in the Woods, and poisonous types such as the Sickener, the Death Cap and the Destroying Angel.

The handbook is completed by more than thirty simple and delicious mushroom recipes from the River Cottage team. Small enough to fit in a waterproof pocket, with colour photographs throughout and an introduction by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, 'The River Cottage Mushroom Handbook' is a comprehensive and user-friendly guide destined to be an indispensable household reference.

 

The DVD is exclusive to River Cottage and Hugh has this to say about it  "Nothing gets us more excited at River Cottage HQ than wild mushrooms. But these glorious fruits of the field and wood are available to everyone so why not get out there and bag some for yourself?
This DVD, put together by River Cottage mushroom guru John Wright and myself, is a fantastic introduction to the delights of mushroom foraging.

In John's safe hands we take a tour through the tastiest wild mushrooms our countryside has to offer, from the humble Common Puffball to the majestic Cep.

John gives us his top tips on where and when to go, what to pick and what to avoid. Then it's back to the kitchen where Gill and I get to work turning our haul into a whole array of fantastic dishes.

Whether you're a seasoned mycophile or total novice, this DVD will open your eyes to the wealth of mushrooms just waiting to be picked. It will whet your appetite for the vast array of fungal flavours out there and inspire you to add a truly wild edge to your cooking!"
