When I first met Jenny we had a talk about food. Everything she mentioned I said that I didn’t like it. Things like fish, vegetables, yoghurt and mushrooms.
I told her that I was willing to try them but there is no way that she was ever going to get me to eat mushrooms.
I don’t know what it is about mushrooms but I don’t like the taste, texture, smell anything about them.
I have found lately that my taste buds have changed. Things that I used to hate I now seem to like. So today I have done the unthinkable. I’m cooking with mushrooms
I made a casserole and added the mushrooms to that. I thought that the mushrooms will get mixed with other flavours and textures that I might not notice them too much. I was right I hardly noticed they were there.
I know it is small but it is the first step of me using them more often.

If you see any brightly coloured mushrooms like that picture they probably are highly poisonous. Either get them from a greengrocer, or if foraging them wild make sure you’re with a very experienced and knowledgeable guide or have the experience and confidence yourself to identify exactly what they are.
I would only ever go to a greengrocer. Just thought it was more interesting to draw the poisonous kind. If I start to like mushrooms and want to forage I will put your advice to good use. Thank you
