First telltale sign of a great restaurant is the crusty van that pulls up full of hand-foraged mushrooms. Every time I see our mushroom guy pull up at Salty's, I get a pit in my stomach like the first time I asked a girl to dance. These mushrooms are hand foraged which means they are not farmed and are picked by wandering through the woods. Many varieties of mushrooms come from our forests in the Pacific Northwest and they have some crazy names. The varieties you might see around are fried chicken, lobster, delicious milkcap, bear's head tooth and hawks wing. Yes, these are all mushrooms and not superheroes. Today I want to go over the most common of the foraged mushrooms, the chanterelle. The chanterelle mushroom is a staple on every fall menu and adds richness to any stew or steak dish. Chanterelle mushrooms have a nice fruity aroma with a wonderful peppery finish. Here are tips on how to buy and cook these amazing fungi.

Buying Mushrooms

By Kathryn Kingen

I was dining at Salty's on Alki recently and Chef Paolo Carey-diGregorio stopped by my table. He looked at me with wide eyes and a huge grin and said, "Kathy, come back to the kitchen I have something really exciting I want to show you." I was so curious, I jumped up and followed Paolo back to the chilly walk-in cooler. He very reverently picked up a huge basket of gorgeous, just picked mushrooms gathered by his favorite forager and said, "He gave me the best he had. Have you ever seen anything more beautiful? Gorgeous chanterelles, porcinis and morels were heaped before my eyes like gold. "I can hardly wait to make my Chef's special with these," he said. I felt as if he was sharing some regal treasure he had just unearthed … and truly he was.

There is barely anything as sumptuous and delicious as elegant mushrooms. Mushrooms were the food of royalty and so loved by kings that historically the first known mushroom farming is attributed to Louis the XIV. Undoubtedly he would agree with Paolo that mushrooms are a food to be revered.

More than 40 million pounds of food has passed through the warehouse of the Washington State Food Lifeline, located at 815 S. 96th in South Park this year. The Food Lifeline has been distributing food from their new location since April of this year.

It is food that otherwise would have gone to waste, save for the volunteers and administration of the distribution to more than 275 food banks throughout western Washington. 

Expansion plans call for doubling the amount of food the Lifeline is able to warehouse, keep cool and distribute via a fleet of trucks to the community food banks they serve. 

Special consideration and care is taken to refine the deliveries to accommodate the needs of each community. Local food banks can make requests, if certain foods are available, and have more of different types of those foods delivered. 

Like the food that is donated from area grocers, wholesale distributors and generous individual donors, the Food Lifeline operates largely on volunteer labor.

We live in a magical place to explore if you take the time to get out of the work-a-day world and get out into our regional playground. Those of us who have been lucky enough to grow up here and to have families that ski and snowboard know that winter is a special time in Washington. You can spend a day up in the deep snow of the Cascades or Olympics, and come home to the green of the Puget Sound region. This really makes the trip to the slopes seem a lot further than it actually is.

Kids who are presented the skills to be confident in the mountains are given a gift to be used for a lifetime. To be able to confidently rip down some of the steepest alpine terrain in the US is something that very few humans are presented with, and the associated skills of driving in gnarly conditions, navigating in no visibility, and knowing how to stay warm when in inclement weather is upon us, harkens back to times when screens were not the entertainment method of choice.
