Black truffle | Fuži pasta | porcini juice | green asperagus

The Black or Périgord truffle is the most beautiful of all truffles with a black skin. We call it 'Black' truffle because the inside is also black. For Truffles, you must keep it neutral so that the refined taste comes into its own. With an egg, risotto or pasta. In this case with Fuži; a traditional pasta from Istria. The dish is quick and easy to make as a starter or side dish.

Fresh Morels . . . pure at it’s best !

Fresh Morels have a typical and very refined taste. To experience them properly, it’s best to prepare them as natural as possible. Like with this recipe. Can be used to prepare a nice spring garnish with poultry or veal. Or expand with other spring vegetables into a vegetarian dish.

Elegant Christmas dish with Black Trumpet mushrooms

Black trumpet mushrooms with celery and confit and fillet of red-legged partridge and own gravy. You can use this dish perfectly during the holidays. Despite some little preps two days in advance,the dish is relatively quickly to cook and can be properly prepared. The combination with celery makes the dish a bit fresher, lighter and more elegant.

A festive vegetarian alternative for chefs! Made with ‘Dune feet’, or the King oyster mushroom. With a creamy mushroom and quinoa duxelle. Therefore, with a beautiful nutty and bushy taste.

Advantages for the chef: King oyster mushrooms are available all year round, have a very long shelf life and are affordable. A distinctive, speech- and flavor-enhancing alternative for guests who want to be surprised by vegetarian dishes.

Festive ‘Waterzooi’ with Porcini mushrooms

‘Waterzooi’ is a typical dish from Belgian cuisine, made with chicken or fish, vegetables, cream and potatoes. It is served as a kind of soup. In this variant we combine with Porcini mushrooms and saffron. Both beautifully 'earthy' and surprisingly complementary. Also, turbot, vegetables and new potatoes in saffron in a "soup" of Porcini mushrooms. A beautiful festive dish that is not difficult to make. You can do most of the preparatory work the day before. As a main course or as an intermediate dish with, for example, a king scallop instead of turbot.

Oeuf cocotte aux champignons

'Oeuf cocotte aux champignons'. In other words, an small oven dish with egg and mushrooms. A classic from French cuisine and a beautiful vegetarian combination. Easy to make and super tasty. For breakfast, brunch, lunch or as an appetizer. You can make this dish all year round with various mushrooms. From 'just' a button, chestnut or oyster mushroom, to even truffles. For this Easter brunch I used a mix of Dutch mini Shiitake, Wood blewit (Blue foot) from the marl caves, fresh morels from Turkey and some summer truffle from Iran.

Risotto da Carmine . . . con fungi primavera !!

An authentic Italian risotto. Easy to digest, simple to make of only fresh ingredients. ‘Primavera’, so with wild spring mushrooms. I cook risotto the Italian way. So no cream, no sour cream and al dente. Parsley and union from my own kitchen garden, mushrooms from you guys, Arborio rice from Italy and a homemade broth. That are the basics.

Buon appetito !!

lasagne with chanterelles

A beautiful vegetarian dish. Full of Umami character. A ‘bomb’ of taste. Combinations of sweets like apricot from the chanterelles and the Gruyere cheese. Cook it in the high season, and you get value for money. Of course, you can replace for other mushrooms or a mixture. I sometimes sauté minced veal of beef together with the mushrooms. Anyway, a nice main dish to combine with some bread and salad. Enjoy!
