About


Another recipe that I love but I'm sure the quantities are all out of whack. So really take all of them with a grain of salt (add "to taste" to the end of all of them).
The lobster mushrooms in this dish are lovely and add a distinct texture and flavor to the sauce. You should be able to find them at most hip grocery stores. They take much longer to cook then you'll expect from most other mushrooms, and should have a nice smooth dense texture when done (no "snap")
