There were locally grown shiitake (she-tah-key) mushrooms at the St James farmers’ market yesterday – for only $8 a pound. (They run about $15 a pound at Whole Paycheck.) The guy I bought them from explained to me how easy they are to grow here in Missouri – once you get them started.

I mainly use shiitakes in stir fry and risotto. So, I decided to look up some news recipes to try.

Instead of a recipe, I found this short clip from the Catherine Tate Show on BBC.
