Eugenia Bone, cookbook author, recipe developer and food journalist, is also a passionate mycologist (one who studies fungi). Mushrooms became such an interest that she partnered with filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg to make the movie Fantastic Fungi, documenting the mushrooming community across the US and the amazing scientific, medicinal and culinary properties of the fungal kingdom. Fantastic Fungi: The Community Cookbook, is the cookbook spinoff which accompanies the movie, offering a diverse collection of mushroom recipes from people who truly love and understand them.

Ali S writes: “Food has moved on and tradition has evolved. There are new ingredients and techniques, but the unique style remains the same, evocative of the region and of the author herself. It brings the cookery of the region up-to-date and I, for one, can't wait to work my way through this new collection. A fitting tribute to a wonderful cookery writer.”

The gooseberry bush grows wild in most northern temperate climates. There are several varieties of this fruit, but the most common is a light, almost translucent, green, and the size of a grape. When fully ripe they can be delicious raw, the sweetness just tempering the characteristic mouth-puckering tartness. They come into their own when cooked, with a unique honeyed floral flavor added to their acidity.
