Cooking with Mushrooms

In her stunning debut cookbook, Andrea Gentl brings together deep culinary knowledge, refined technique, and a heartfelt passion for one of nature’s most intriguing ingredients: mushrooms. Cooking with Mushrooms reimagines the fungi not just as a food, but as a seasoning, a healer, and the hero of the plate.

From adaptogen-infused granola to schnitzel redefined with king trumpet mushrooms, Gentl opens up a new world of possibilities. Comforting broths, like mushroom-based tonics, nourish the body, while dishes like Soupy Eggs with Chanterelles and Crispy Shiitake “Bacon” Endive Wedge Salad elevate breakfast and lunch. For dinner, recipes such as Mushroom Larb, earthy Mushroom Ragu, or Roast Chicken with Miso Mushroom Butter bring depth and richness to the table. And yes—Maple Mushroom Ice Cream proves that fungi can even surprise in dessert.

With nearly 100 imaginative and flavor-forward recipes, Cooking with Mushrooms is a love letter to the versatile, nourishing, and magical world of mushrooms—inviting you to explore their power in every meal.
