I was over at Trout Lake Farmer’s Market this morning and was delighted to find a plethora of huge blonde morels. I recently read a fascinating book about mushroom hunting which includes delicious recipes, giving me a hankering for wild mushrooms. I immediately bought the four largest ones. When I told the friendly farmer I hoped to someday find them myself, he said they are growing all over the place where the forest fires were, here in Vancouver, last year. The season is nearly up, so go now–I wish I could but we just spent the last couple weeks with family so I have to get back to work–if you find any let me know how you cook em! I stuffed these with fresh peas, cherries and sausages I picked up at the market this morning.
