Would it be possible for someone else to volunteer for this recipe (Mama's morels fried in butter) for the editors pick please?... I'm looking for fresh morels, but haven't found any so far ( Plan to check out any weekend farmers markets as well), but It would be terrible if I'm unable to test these before tuesday, In the event i get my hands on some, i'll definitely post my tasting notes in the comments
Thanks so much!!

I found some Christmas Limas at AmericanSpice.com and they should arrive by Monday, so I will take the Heirloom Bean and Mushrooms ....

Congratulations to all EPs and finalists. Have a wonderful Easter! I will be traveling on Sunday to the great state of Texas!!! to wine taste in Dallas, Houston and Austin (Hi Abbie and Leo!!)
 
wssmom April 22, 2011
What a great trip!
 
aargersi April 23, 2011
Hi Mary!! Call me when you are headed to Austin! I'll run downtown and say hi!

I will try the rich mushroom espresso (so will the 15 other people at Easter dinner). Its supposed to be rainy and 45 degrees so I am betting this will hit the spot as an amuse bouche!
 
Sagegreen April 21, 2011
Congrats to all. Also will be en route, so won't be able to test any before Tuesday.
 
Burnt O. April 21, 2011
On the road all day and got here late, plus I'm not gonna be home till Tuesday. These all look so scrumptious!

That heirloom bean and mushroom stew immediately caught my eye this afternoon, but I called around and NO ONE in my area carries Christmas Lima Beans! Boo.
 
Helen's A. April 21, 2011
Rancho Gordo carries Christmas Limas..
 
duclosbe1 April 22, 2011
If I had them shipped, I wouldn't get them in time. Oh, the joys of accessing some ingredients and living in north central Maine...
 
TiggyBee April 22, 2011
@ forester_lady- do you want to test the Chanterelle Pasta? I just went to 2 local stores and no chanterelles!! Let me know and thanks! Otherwise, I'll still test and do a sub.
 
duclosbe1 April 22, 2011
Hi, TiggyBee--I haven't seen chanterelles here. Sorry! Best of luck!
 
deanna1001 April 21, 2011
I'll take the exotic mushroom tart please.
 
someonewhobakes April 21, 2011
i'll test the mushroom crostata, please!
 
TiggyBee April 21, 2011
Happy to test the Chanterelle pasta!
 
AntoniaJames April 25, 2011
We don't have fresh chanterelles here either (or at least I haven't been able to find them) but I have some excellent dried ones, and everything else to make this, so I'll test it . . . . but probably won't get be able to send in my write-up until late tomorrow night, due to my jammed up schedule during the day.;o)

Thanks for the commas - those were some pretty exotic-sounding recipes without the punctuation ;) I will test the Hot Mushroom Salad as a starter for our Easter lunch.

I'd like to try the couscous as well!
 
Food52 April 21, 2011
We only have one official tester per recipe and cinnamongirl already called dibs on the couscous but if you want to try the couscous recipe and enter your notes in the comments section for the recipe, that's fine. And there are other mushrooms recipes still up for dibs if you'd like to test one.
 
wssmom April 21, 2011

The pleasure is all mine! I picked up some nice fresh ducks' eggs at the farmers' market this morning, which I'll fry and serve with this for dinner tonight. I can hardly wait!! ;o)
