Twice a year Charles, but we eat there more than once... I wish someone here would serve the grilled giant porcini that they do. Custard like center, to die for..and possibly this is what I expect to see in Toronto. Out of season...

with porcini mushroom, ginger and sesame seeds Heck even Los Grisoles has a more interesting menu with a funny, colorful and politically incorrect menu http://www.restaurantelosgirasoles.com/Pag2-1e.html - Pistachio cream soup -...

excellent and perfectly prepared, it was the polenta that truly wowed while the octopus was merely “good.” Cheesy and decadent in all ways with pefectly roasted porcini, oyster, and hen of the woods mushrooms the polenta was...

accompanying it has a dot of balsamic vinegar in it. We shared a pizza which was half vegetables primavera and half fungi (portabella and porcini). It was thin crusted and good S/.29. Then we shared the saltimbocca with veal...

Last spring for Mother’s Day, I offered to cook dinner for my boyfriend’s mom and family (10 people). A couple of his siblings are vegetarian, so I decided to make porcini risotto cakes as the main course. I made the...

tested out. I had never made a recipe in her books using porcinis, but that is definitely something I will now keep as a pantry essential. And it’s been fun “getting to know” the Hounds on the Home Cooking board...

porcini mushrooms and English peas. A very thick pasta with nothing inside. Strange. The effect was like a cardboard pizza with mushroom topping. Fifth course: Duck breast with swiss chard, morel mushrooms, house-cured ham, and...

on the mainland. Passion fruit, normally expensive as gold, or at least porcinis, are downright cheap at six for a dollar. There are local goat cheeses, smoked ahi, and Asian vegetables galore. Plus, cheap gift items, t-shirts,...

sauteed portobello, porcini, cremini, you name it.

of that Better than Bouillon mushroom base. It comes in jars right next to the canned chicken stock. It’s verrrrry salty, so a little goes a long way. I also use dried porcini mushrooms, soaked and chopped, in lots of soups...

almost every year. An absolutely gorgeous ( can I add more of these: !!!!) vintage Arabia Ruska casserole. My favorite pattern ever. (If “pattern” is the right word) A big bag of dried porcinis. Nuff said. I approve. My...

in Brookline. Kaze in Chinatown. Cafe Podima in Beacon Hill. La Casa de Pedro, Stellina, and Porcini's in Watertown. Bhindi Bazaar (tried lunch buffet only), Cafe Jaffa, and 29 Newbury in the Back Bay. James’s Gate in JP. Red...
