Well, a single Veg Letter isn’t enough for these! They need a whole book. I have absolutely loved drawing lots of mushrooms for this piece and also doing the research to find out some fascinating facts.
I’m really getting into mushrooms lately and we’re lucky enough to have a wonderful farmer’s market here, with an awesome mushroom stall. We’ve had some lovely mushroom meals recently, including mushroom chilli, mushroom ragu and tempura mushrooms. And I’ve also been drinking mushroom hot chocolate and adding mushroom powder to other dishes to provide some savouriness.
Paid subscribers get access to this beautifully illustrated mushroom fact sheet (and there’s a discount until the end of August – lock in a low low price now). I’m also planning to sell a print of the mushrooms toward the end of next month, so I’ll let you know in a couple of weeks how to buy that if you’re interested. (And shout out to any publishers who are looking for someone to illustrate a book about mushrooms – I would love to do that and have capacity opening up in October.)
