Illustrated lecture “The Kitchen Mycologist”, Wednesday, Oct 9, Katonah

OCT 9: Illustrated lecture “The Kitchen Mycologist” with author Eugenia Bone. Katonah Village Library. Free. 

Refreshments will be served at 7pm and the lecture will begin at 7:30 in the Garden Room
 
Ms. Bone’s illustrated lecture “The Kitchen Mycologist” will explain how a bit of mycology will make you a better mycophagist. She’ll explore why some mushrooms more expensive than others, and why are some only found in the wild and others cultivated? Why do mushrooms cook the way they do? Why does one nutritionist say mushrooms have no nutrition, and another says they are key to nutritional health? How do I avoid getting ripped off when buying truffles and truffle products? And are they really aphrodisiacs?

Eugenia Bone is a nationally known food writer and lecturer, and the President of the New York Mycological Society. With three books on food and cooking, and articles printed in The New York Times Magazine, The National Lampoon, Saveur, Food & Wine, Gourmet, Fine Cooking, The Wine Enthusiast, and Martha Stewart Living, Ms. Bone boldly steered into a new frontier to study the science of fungi for her fourth book, “Mycophilia: Revelations from the Weird World of Mushrooms.” Delving into the topic uncovered mushroom mysteries, and cultivated a deeper understanding of nature.
