Magical, Mysterious and oh so Delicious., June 2002 Review

recently met the author of this book in the oddest of places. His
wife and I had been called for jury duty and he had come along as
her moral support. During one of the breaks we started a discussion
about this book he had written, filled with his own creative recipes
for
Portabella Mushrooms.
Mr. Brown exudes passion, and after trying some of his recipes I can clearly see why. His goal is to educate people to the pleasure and flavor these mushrooms hold. I never realized how good they could be, and I thank him for his book and his directions. The illustrations that accompany each recipe are colorful and pleasing to the eye. Most important of all the recipes are simple to put together with ingredients that most of us have around the house. At the center of each recipe is the tantalizing taste of the Portabella mushroom a flavor that borders on meaty, and nothing less than fulfilling. Mr.
Brown BBQ's, sautés and
broils the portabellas, in the many recipes which include flavors
as diverse as Cajun, Asian, Italian, and Mexican. The opening
pages offer some great tips along with general information in
preparation and nutrition. The book closes with the index and
a breathtaking picture of a sunset taken from his home in the
mountains. I wish the author great success and wanted to let
him know that the Pesto Penne Pasta and Walnuts on page 55 was
nothing less than superb. Kelsana 6/8/02 |
