Buying
Mushrooms are hand picked but bruise easily so treat them carefully. Look for firm white button and closed cup mushrooms and remember that the larger the mushroom, the more the flavour develops.
Storage
If mushrooms are pre-packaged in cling film, transfer to a paper bag or kitchen paper and store in the salad drawer of the fridge, for a maximum of five days.
Preparation
Simply rinse mushrooms under cold running water and dry on kitchen paper. Never soak, peel or remove the stalk.
