Too Many Cooks

Mushroom hunting with Chris Mueller and more

Super-excited about next week's Spokesman-Review Food section, so here’s an early preview of what’s in store:

  • Mushroom mission – “They are sneaky, stealthy little things. I mean, they’re bright yellow. But you’ve really got to look.”

That’s Chris Mueller, owner of Bistro on Spruce in Coeur d’Alene, on chanterelles.

Mueller loves mushrooms.

And he enjoys the thrill of a good mushroom hunt almost as much as the buttery, garlicky, sautéed reward.

Wednesday, Mueller shares his Fall Wild Mushroom Risotto as well as a few other recipes that spotlight golden and glorious chanterelles.

 

  • Pollo alla Bolognese – Nancy Hawley has been making her version of this classic Italian dish since 1975, when she first served it to members of People Interested in Good Supper, or PIGS.

The informal Spokane supper club doesn’t meet as often as it used to, but all six couples remain friends.

Her quick take on Pollo alla Bolognese has become Hawley’s signature dish, especially when company’s coming for dinner. She shares her recipe in this month’s “In the Kitchen with” feature.

Plus, there’s the regular Fresh Sheet feature and more.

Happy Eating!
