About The Gourmand’s Mushroom: A Collection of Stories & Recipe

Mushrooms—delicious, medicinal, and sometimes psychoactive—have fascinated humans for millennia. From their role in spiritual rituals to their whimsical forms that have inspired artists from Bosch to Kusama, these remarkable fungi occupy a unique place in culture and cuisine.

In The Gourmand’s Mushroom, culinary experts David Lane and Marina Tweed take readers on a rich mycological journey, blending engaging essays, cultural insights, and original recipes from top chefs and critics. Each chapter reveals the fascinating history, science, and artistry of mushrooms, making this book a feast for both the mind and the palate.

Founders of The Gourmand journal, Lane and Tweed explore food as a lens through which to view art, literature, design, fashion, film, and music. Their work has been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, Die Zeit, and Le Monde, and exhibited at London’s Design Museum, cementing their authority in the intersection of food and culture.
