A lifetime of insight about foraging. An amazing story of growing up in the forest and enjoying all of her bounty. Coupled with classic preparations that I have been on the fortunate receiving end of and that continue after all these years to hold special places in our culinary hearts. This is a book of love and beauty that is to be cherished., When teachers draw on their personal experience rather than recounting the works of others, they are so much more effective. In her book Mushroom Foraging and Feasting, Victoria Romanoff does that first-person storytelling in spades. And the result is just plain fun to read., Romanoff shares recipes that show off the forest bounty to great advantage. . . The morel is the queen of spring mushrooms and combines with cream for pasta sauce; chanterelles float in a simple wine-enhanced chicken broth; giant puffballs bake with salsa., What began in childhood as a way to survive the ravages of World War II, ends as a tribute to the woman who skilled her in the ways of "the magical, colorful and mystical underworld of the fungus." Victoria Romanoff has given us a book that is not only delicious to the eye but teaches and feeds the spirit as well. Even if you've never given a thought to mushroom hunting, this book makes you want to grab a basket and walk confidently into the woods to begin your own learning experience with 'shrooms. There is joy here, snippets of history, and like the simple mushroom itself, the recipes don't require a special trip to the store.--Sophie Hodorowicz Knab, author of The Polish Country Kitchen, Romanoff takes us on a romp through a primeval forest's understory in search of edible mushrooms, providing recipes to heighten the fun of the hunt. Recounting her childhood as a WWII refugee hunting mushrooms for survival, along with her later adventures as a fine artist and historic preservationist, she provides an insightful and inspiring look into the indomitable spirit of both artist and survivor., A memoir with recipes, Mushroom Foraging and Feasting shares bright stories of finding food in the woods and turning it into a lifelong hobby and community builder. . . Baked into the narration is a commitment to community. Every extra bag of mushrooms might be traded for freshly picked blueberries or some garden bounty. For Romanoff: mushrooms still bring the community, sustainability, and friendship that they did in the [displaced persons] camp., This lovely memoir not only characterizes some of our most delectable mushrooms--with recipes to boot--but something of the loveliness of the huntress herself. Mushroom hunting may be trending right now, but Victoria is proof it's a passion that can last for a lifetime., "What began in childhood as a way to survive the ravages of World War II, ends as a tribute to the woman who skilled her in the ways of "the magical, colorful and mystical underworld of the fungus." Victoria Romanoff has given us a book that is not only delicious to the eye but teaches and feeds the spirit as well. Even if you've never given a thought to mushroom hunting, this book makes you want to grab a basket and walk confidently into the woods to begin your own learning experience with 'shrooms. There is joy here, snippets of history, and like the simple mushroom itself, the recipes don't require a special trip to the store.", The author's captivating stories had me hooked from the first page. With stunning photographs, clear identification tips, and must-try recipes. . . Well, soon I had to put the book down (briefly), grab my collecting gear, and head out into the field to gather some of my own fungi. This book will be treasured by both novice and experienced mushroom hunters.

Synopsis
A beguiling invitation to the world of mushroom hunting--combining practical advice and recipes with tales and photographs from a lifetime on the hunt Victoria Romanoff picked her first mushroom--a brown-capped butterpilz or sticky bun--at the age of four, at her family's summer dacha on the shores of the Baltic Sea. Little did she realize that her newfound interest in mushrooming would soon become an essential survival skill, as she and her mother spent eight years in displaced persons camps in the aftermath of World War II, foraging wild foods to supplement their diets. Resettled in the United States, Romanoff has continued to pursue her mycological passion ever since, deploying her considerable culinary skills to convert friends and strangers to the joys of wild mushrooms. Now, in this marvelously written book, rich with anecdote, she shares the wisdom gathered from a lifetime on the hunt. Romanoff introduces readers to twelve of the most easily foraged and delicious mushrooms, including the chanterelle, the morel, and the oyster. She describes the appearance, habits, and lore of each variety, and provides a recipe for each; her recipes include both refined kitchen creations and rustic dishes meant to be prepared over an open fire at the end of a successful hunt. Romanoff also shares personal stories from her eight decades of mushrooming. From serendipitous discoveries while canoeing to habitual hikes with Piglet (in fact a terrier, not a truffle pig), her detailed accounts bring alive the sensory experience of the hunt, and the particular connection with nature that a forager enjoys. Illustrated throughout with photos by Romanoff's partner Sarah Adams--which are instructive and sometimes whimsical-- Mushroom Foraging and Feasting will be a friendly primer for novice mushroom hunters and an unexpected delight for veteran mycophiles., Victoria Romanoff-artist, preservationist, forager, and chef-has been hunting mushrooms for nearly eight decades, first in her native Europe and then in her adopted home in the Finger Lakes. In this lively account of her mushrooming adventures, Romanoff introduces readers to twelve of the most easily foraged and delicious mushrooms, from the chanterelle to the giant puffball. She reveals the habits and lore of these choice fungi, and provides one of her own favorite recipes for each. Illustrated throughout with photos by Romanoff's partner Sarah Adams, Mushroom Foraging and Feasting will delight novice and veteran mycophiles alike.
