Being russian puts one on a permanent hunt for recipes that could miraculously make cultivated mushrooms taste like those excellent wild mushrooms foraged back in childhood. You hope to discover some technique that tightens the flabbiness of button mushrooms to approximate the texture of porcini, and with a little help from dried cepes to trick [...]
