Mushroom Gastronomy

Mushroom Gastronomy by Krista Towns is a beautifully crafted cookbook and culinary guide that celebrates mushrooms as a centre-plate ingredient — not just a side dish.

Blending chef-level techniques with approachable recipes, this book explores the flavour, texture, and versatility of both cultivated and wild mushrooms. It’s designed for home cooks, food lovers, chefs, and mushroom enthusiasts who want to deepen their understanding of mushrooms in the kitchen.

From simple preparations that highlight freshness to more refined dishes, Mushroom Gastronomy encourages seasonal cooking, thoughtful sourcing, and a closer connection to fungi as food.
