I haven’t really tried many mushrooms outside of standard white and portobello, but I’d like to start experimenting. Are certain types better in certain dishes, or better served alone as a side, or is it more a matter of individual taste?
— Maura Ema
Answer:
Uh, you know, mushrooms are, are versatile creatures, and, um, they do very well, uh, when sauteed on their own and just lightly, uh, seasoned. And, uh, they also do very well, um, you know, when playing with others in the pot, and as they can be just a secondary ingredient in a soup or a stew, uh, or a pasta dish or something else. And so, um, there's a lot of flexibility. And I would say just go for it. Give it a try. You're gonna discover what you like, what you don't really like, and, um, uh, you know, your, your knowledge and skillset will deepen and broaden.
