3.0 out of 5 stars A warning to non-British readers, October 20, 2005
By 
bogonflux (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mushrooms: A Book of Recipes (Hardcover)
A warning to non-British readers.

This book assumes a British readership in it's use of language and assumptions.

pros:
* It's a mushroom cookbook!
* decent advise on storing and preparing mushrooms
* pretty pictures - each recipe has it's own picture

cons:
* assumes a British readership - many terms will be unfamiliar to Americans.
* some ingrediants will be somewhat unavailable to Americans - like "yeast extract" (which is apparently what Marmite is)
* many recipies do not have a mushroom focus. A grotesque example is steak with a SINGLE mushroom placed on top
* very few kinds of mushrooms are discussed. There are many types of mushrooms that are easy for me to find that are not discussed at all. (for example: Portabello, Enoki, various dried Chinese mushrooms)
