If you can get your hands on fresh wild mushrooms—and these days, it’s not hard—this wild mushroom risotto recipe is the best way to show them off.

Because the mushrooms aren't cooked, it's important to use very fresh cèpes in this salad. When shopping, look for firm mushrooms with no dark brown spots.

Cèpes (also known as porcini) are perfect with roast duck. Pair this dinner-partyworthy dish with a New Zealand Pinot Noir.

Serve with crusty bread and a salad, if you like.

f you're making the beans to use for the soup or the sausages, be sure to save the cooking liquid.

A rustic, comforting dinner dish.
