| I
love mushrooms because they are one of the most versatile
inventions of nature. They suit many cuisines around
the world, providing fun for the cook and great flavours
for the diners. |
I
use white mushrooms to enhance and enrich my dishes
or as a vegetable accompaniment. I like to braise
or slowly saute white mushrooms because this brings
out the earthiness and flavour of the mushrooms. I
use as little liquid as possible and then add cream.
Or I combine them with chicken fillet, or with rabbit
and pickled lemon in a casserole. Or I just cut them
into halves and stir-fry with Gai-Lan (Chinese broccoli)
and young ginger.

| “People
who know me and eat at my restaurant understand my
passion for good food. Mushrooms are versatile and
I love creating dishes that highlight the smells and
flavour of this great product. I am thrilled to know
that so many other chefs around Australia will be
doing the same. |
"Mushrooms
are vitally important to me, as a chef and a passionate
cook in my kitchen at home. Mushrooms add a touch
of wonder to many of my dishes and I couldn't think
of another vegetable that I love to cook with more". |
