Chanterelle fever


There are millions of things I love about autumn. One of them is the chanterelle season. The scent of freshly picked chanterelles evokes many fond childhood memories – I tended to gather chanterelles in the forest because I knew that my mom would be over the moon about them. Bringing mushrooms home from school outings in the woods was the ultimate trick to make her happy, which is something I ought to do more than just once in a while nowadays. And then she made creamy soups and Vietnamese ‘banh gio’ (steamed minced pork rice dumpling) with the chanterelles. Good times, indeed. Last Thursday, Julie, Maja and I cooked pasta with chanterelle mushrooms. So. Freaking. Delicious. The day after, Julie invited some girls over for delectable risotto with chanterelles and prosecco. I love the way my favorite season is approaching!

  1. Those dishes look delicious. I LOVE chanterelles too! Apparently, I live in one of the biggest mushroom producing (foraging?) regions in the U.S. I've always wanted to learn more about mushroom hunting to take advantage of the local bounty.

  2. Oh, yes, mushroom season is here! It's great to go out in to the woods and bring all the goodness back home! Love it! Enjoy the season! ;)

  3. Nydelige bilder, og maten ser utrolig delikat ut! Er skikkelig glad i kantareller selv, og håper jeg får tid til en sopptur eller to i løpet av høsten. Synes forresten det er litt rart at det nærmer seg høst alt, jeg har ikke hatt sommerferien min ennå….men neste mandag drar mannen min og jeg omsider til våre 3 etterlengtede uker i Hellas:)
