Publisher's Synopsis
Antonio Carluccio, author of "An Invitation to Italian Cooking", has now written a book on both hunting and eating wild mushrooms. He was initiated into the mysteries of mushroom-hunting as a small child in Northern Italy and mushrooms have been his great passion ever since. His book is not only a gastronomic exploration - with around 100 original, tested recipes, many from his Neal Street restaurant in London - but also a practical field guide to the 25 most delicious species (and the 14 most deadly).
