A friend of ours is an avid mushroom-aholic! LOVE THIS BOOK

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2018

A friend of ours is an avid mushroom-aholic, if you will. By association, we've gotten a little bit interested in the idea of mushrooms and the benefits they can provide. My partner and I both LOVE eating mushrooms so it made sense that as we're on our health journey to learn more about the health benefits too. I'm so glad that we found this book! It takes mushroom lovers to a whole new world! We all know that sauteeing mushrooms are delicious, but what else can we do and what other benefits are there? I loved that the book started out answering the most basic and most important of questions - why?! The way the book flows makes it easy to continuously learn and love as you go. I literally never would have thought to use mushrooms for drinks, probably last thing I would find value in and yet, thanks to this book, my mind and perspective have shifted on the available uses for mushrooms. Who knew you could make peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough with.... mushroom extract? Certainly not I, but guess what? It's INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend this book for the knowledge and especially for the amazing recipes. Wish there were more visuals but honestly, not needed with this book

Good book for the beginner

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2019

Good book, useful information for someone just diving into the mushroom world. As someone who already has a a sold knowledge of medicinal mushrooms, I can't say I learned a whole lot of new information. The author seems to be kind of a novice- which is fine, glad she's sharing her knowledge! But maybe I was expecting too much. I haven't tried any recipes yet, as I just got this book a couple days ago. They sound mostly delicious though, with the exception of a few- but we all have our own tastes. I would recommend, but don't purchase and expect wisdom from a seasoned Mycologist. Overall, a good book.

So Much to Learn about Mushrooms

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

My interest in mushrooms came when I became a vegetarian while living in Oregon. We would hunt for the Oregon favorites like chanterelles, morals, and often the California King Bolete. We hunted and cooked – but we hadn’t begun to do the work that Stepfanie Romine has done for Cooking With Healing Mushrooms. It was the many recipes that took me to this book, but the easy writing style, fascinating story and amazing information had me reading all the way through. Don’t overlook the recipes, I highly recommend the Enoki-Scallion Chickpea fritters and so many of the main dishes. The soup, broths and the white bean, mushroom and wild rice sauté are on heavy rotation in my house. But the historic uses of mushrooms (back to 6000 BC!) and the information on nutrition and the fact that mushrooms need to be cooked were things I had no idea about. Stepfanie Romine is an expert on this topic – and I appreciate learning about this food I have eaten much, and appreciated not near enough.

A MUST have if you love mushrooms

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

I'm a mushroom fanatic and I was blown away by the knowledge and depth of recipes in this book. The author has done an exceptional job of encompassing a wide variety of global cuisines and flavors. She starts off the book giving what must be the most comprehensive overview of the types and nutritional benefits of the mushrooms readily available in your grocery store. The second half of the book is the real treasure, though: almost 100 recipes from all over the world using mushrooms. My mouth is watering just reading them! I can't wait to hit my local Asian market to find some of these more rare examples of fungi delicacies.

mushrooms have nutrients! Never knew before

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2018

I never thought much about mushrooms. I like them pretty well, but I never buy them so I end up eating them only at the rare restaurants that serve more than button mushrooms. Let me tell you, many of the varieties you rarely get are VERY good when made well. So I was thinking, there are these big displays at farmers markets, let me try to make it at home because it’s rare to find some fun mushrooms in dishes. I had no idea until I got this book that mushrooms had any nutritional value, the other reason I never bothered with them at home. I thought they were like cucumbers. Or worse. To find out they can be anti viral? Are given to cancer patients? Totally nuts. The book stresses you CAN NOT cure cancer with mushrooms so let me throw that in here too- please don’t just jump in a start eating a pound a day, you’ll get sick. I also didn’t know there are mushroom extracts- I haven’t gone that far into the mushroom world yet, but I’m happy to get more nutrients. This is a great book to get you started, in any case. The one I can’t wait to try, but haven’t yet, is maitake bacon. Maitake on its own tastes so good!

So much more to learn!

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2018

Having read this book, I am more curious than ever about mushrooms, those fantastic little morsels that pop up after a good rain. Like many, I grew up afraid to pick or eat wild mushrooms, for fear of accidentally poisoning myself. It’s a valid concern, and mushrooms can be dangerous — but as this book proves, some can be wonderful for your health. And tasty!

Stefanie Romine provides delicious healing recipes for many varieties of common mushrooms, while careful to explain that no remedy is a cure-all, and in too great of proportions, anything can be poison. The recipes in this book are real recipes — no tinctures or powders to grind up here — because you can eat this medicine for dinner.

I can’t wait to try some of these inspired dinners, dips, smoothies, desserts, and even more.
