Magic Mushrooms

The cèpe de Bordeaux is mandatory fare for me since I am here next to Bordeaux and they are growing in the surrounding forests.

This is good news because this meaty mushroom is delicious. Also known as Porcini, the scientific name for this mushroom is boletus edulis from the Latin stem bolet meaning “superior mushroom” and edulis, meaning edible.

Slice and cook with potatoes or fry with shallots, salt and pepper. Yum.
