Cooking with Mushrooms

Mushrooms bring deep, savoury umami to a dish — they're the secret to making vegetarian meals taste rich and satisfying. This collection runs from creamy mushroom risotto and pasta to stir-fries, udon, omelettes, and showstopping mains like mushroom Wellington. The golden rule: don't crowd the pan and don't salt too early, so they sear and brown instead of steaming.

Every recipe is tested with step-by-step instructions and per-serving nutrition. Many are naturally vegetarian or easily made vegan — filter to suit your diet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get mushrooms to brown instead of going soggy?

Use a hot pan, don't overcrowd it, and hold off on salt until they've browned — salt draws out water and makes them steam. Each recipe walks through the technique.

Do I need to wash mushrooms?

Wipe them with a damp cloth or rinse briefly and dry — they absorb water, which hurts browning. Recipes note any prep specifics.

Are these mushroom recipes vegetarian?

Many are vegetarian or vegan. Filter by Vegetarian or Vegan to see plant-based mushroom mains.
