Reimagining the Mushroom: Gentl expands our understanding of how to use mushrooms, demonstrating how to use them as a seasoning (powders and dusts), a health-booster (broths and tonics), and a main dish.
Nearly 100 Innovative Recipes: The book takes familiar dishes and elevates them with fungal flair. You'll find everything from breakfast Soupy Eggs with Chanterelles and lunch-ready Mushroom Larb to dinner-game-changers like Roast Chicken with Miso Mushroom Butter and even surprising desserts like Maple Mushroom Ice Cream.

Health and Adaptogenic Power: Beyond the incredible flavor, the book highlights the "adaptogenic properties" of mushrooms. Whether you're interested in healing broths or simply boosting the nutritional density of your daily meals, this is a roadmap for health-supportive cooking.
A "Beautiful and Modern" Aesthetic: Hailed by The Wall Street Journal as a book so beautiful that "merely leafing through it confers forest-bathing levels of equanimity," this hardcover volume is a visual treasure that makes for a perfect gift or a permanent fixture in any sophisticated kitchen.
Whether you are a seasoned mycophile or a curious home cook looking to add more depth, umami, and "funkadelic" magic to your repertoire, Cooking with Mushrooms is an essential resource.
