Unfortunate Photography

I think I learn something from every cookbook I buy. Unfortunately, I didn’t see this picture when I bought this book (Crave). For some reason this book is useless to me now.

Mushrooms, cream, onions, salami… a little Parmesan on top.

I can’t wait. I think I will start them from seed in the garage. Above are some from last year.
