  • About

One memorable autumn, thanks to a happy coincidence of warmth and rain, our nearby woods were filled with spindly grey ‘trumpet of death’ mushrooms. Far from living up to their name, they are very edible and we dried strings of them to use in dishes like this stew. Deer occasionally appear in the woods too, though they do not long survive the local poachers. This could also be made with beef or lamb.
