"Mushrooms come in all shapes and sizes. There's those we cook with - the bulbous chestnut, long stemmed enoki and otherworldly globes of lion's mane - and the brightly coloured and spotted growths often found in wooded areas, those you best avoid at all costs unless you're a seasoned forager with extensive knowledge of their potential poisonousness. Such a span of visual richness,"
"As per the previous two editions of the series - a collaborative project between David and editor-in-chief Mariana Tweed - the simple cover features a singular image of the food in question on a white background, with no text in sight. Shot by Bobby Doherty, a continued collaborator on the series and an image-maker known for his up-close-and-personal appraisal of objects and food-stuffs, the covers strip each food-muse down to its barest form."
Mushrooms appear in diverse forms, from edible varieties like chestnut, enoki and lion's mane to brightly coloured, potentially poisonous species in wooded areas. The mushroom's visual richness and associations with "earthy recipes and magical stories" informed its selection as the subject following lemon and egg. The cover uses a single, singular image on a white background with no text. Photographer Bobby Doherty employs up-close, archetypal imagery to elevate the button mushroom's woody stem and feathered interior, creating an ambiguous sense of scale and enhancing a mythical quality.
