The article highlights advice from Jane Grigson's "The Mushroom Feast" regarding the importance of mushroom size in flavor development. It emphasizes that small button mushrooms are immature and lack taste, while larger, open mushrooms possess a richer flavor. The author humorously details a recent trip to the supermarket, likening it to a mushroom hunt and sharing tips on enhancing mushroom flavors using shallots and garlic. The article concludes with a mention of a recipe for stuffed mushrooms, enriched by various ingredients, showcasing how to utilize mushroom stalks creatively.
"Grigson reminds us that small button mushrooms are exactly that: small and immature. They haven't had the chance to develop flavour, which is why it's advisable to buy medium-sized mushrooms or, even better, large ones."
"Left undisturbed in mushroom caves, cultivated mushrooms can swell to a pound in weight and develop a flavour equal to field mushrooms."
