Cooking wild mushrooms

These are Ceps picked locally and a superb mushroom. They are quite robust and will take a strong frying. Giorgio Locatelli like to cook these long and slow in butter - which to me gives a slippery quality.
I prefer to cook on a medium to high heat in a mixture of butter and olive oil with some garlic and parsley thrown in at the end and a drop of white wine.

Fermenting Honey

Use fermented honey as a subtle difference to dress salads and meat.
In a sterilised jar Just add a tablespoon of water to 250g of honey. Stir and then secure a cheesecloth cap over the honey. Leave for two weeks, stirring once every day. The colour will darken slightly and the taste will develop stronger. See the difference in colour
