Has anyone cooked with pine mushrooms?  I often see them at the farmer's market but never know what to do with them.  They look as though they would be a very 'robust' vegetable fungus, maybe with a very strong taste.

Never would find them up here but in Sydney yes.

I've never heard of pine mushrooms either.
Those bows look great, if I had any room in my kitchen I'd buy some. But no room!

We've tasted the beetroot, sweet potato & carrot cake and my DH has declared it delicious!
He said it's his new favourite cake. I'll post the recipe when I have time.

I find IGA pease street has a good variety of mushrooms Gert. However I've never really looked at Coles or woolworths so can't compare.

Yum all!

Thanks for the pine mushroom reference, Gert.  I might have a chat to the stall holder next time I see them on sale.

Katie, that cake really looks appetising.  I will look forward to the recipe.

Yes they do. They have a totally different range of a few things and the meat is not bad either.

Brownies look wonderful Cookie. Your DD did a great job.
How I wish I could cook using nuts, my DH has a nut allergy and it's so annoying!

These would taste ok without the nuts Katie. Although it does add to them.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
