Mushroom recipes that are simply magical

Mushrooms are a delicious and versatile fungi full of depth and flavour that, when treated a certain way, rivals the taste of meat. All it takes is a hint of garlic, a sprinkle of herbs or a splash of wine to take the humble vegetable to the next level.

Whether you’re a fan of roasted mushrooms, fresh mushrooms by themselves, or are an exclusive mushroom risotto lover, these magical recipes are just for you. King oysters and woodear mushrooms slowly braised and tossed with chillies and Sichuan pepper turn up the heat in Tony Tan’s dun xiang gu; but for an impressive brunch, look no further than Sean Moran’s mixed mushrooms on toast with lashings of butter. For pastry lovers, pack them into pies, tarts or beef Wellingtons.

Whichever way you like them, we guarantee they’ll add some serious flavour to your dish.
