Andrea Gentl is an award-winning food and travel photographer. Over the span of her 30-year career, she has photographed the world s leading chefs and culinary pioneers. Best known for her signature light and detailed compositions, Gentl tells a distinct story, entirely her own, through her images. It is from that perspective, as well as through extensive global travel, that she writes, cooks, and creates. Gentl works in collaboration with her husband and partner, Martin Hyers. This is her first cookbook.
“In this gorgeous and deeply useful book, Andrea Gentl disproves my
own jaded fear that there’s nothing new to say about ingredients we
know well. I’ve cooked mushrooms for years without ever making
pesto with maitake, lovage, walnut, and pistachio; morels on fried
sourdough with smashed favas and peas; or whole king trumpets
served au poivre. I find myself impatient for my next chance to buy
a whole bouquet of mushrooms to follow her joyous and charitable
directions.”
—Tamar Adler, author of An Everlasting Meal
“This book is a beautiful and modern expression of Andrea’s love
for the natural world, travel, photography, and most important,
mushrooms. The recipes are delicious, nutritious, and accessible. I
plan to fill my pantry with all these staples and use them as she
suggests throughout the book. It has already become one of the most
valued cookbooks in my collection.”
—Aran Goyoaga, author of Cannelle et Vanille
“Cooking with Mushrooms is a breathtaking new offering that has
everything: beauty, lore, wisdom, and every delicious way to use
these magical spores. Andrea Gentl’s reverence for nature shines
through, with in-depth instructions and stunning photography that
make this a literal feast from cover to cover. The learning here is
rich.”
—Sarah Copeland, author of Every Day Is Saturday, Feast, and
Instant Family Meals
“Cooking with Mushrooms will quickly draw you into the mystical
kingdom of this most enchanting ingredient. Once there, you’ll be
treated to a plethora of exciting ways to feature mushrooms in your
daily meals—powdered and added to honey or nut butter, infused in
healing broths, and even in rye sourdough bread and desserts. These
recipes are effortlessly beautiful, delicious, and health
supportive.”
—Amy Chaplin, James Beard Award–winning author of Whole Food
Cooking Every Day
“Andrea Gentl has a way with food. A way with styling. A way with
poetically expressing herself through every word. A way with
flavors that is distinctly her own. And now, with her exceptional
new book, a way with mushrooms that we will all greatly benefit
from.”
—Athena Calderone, author of Cook Beautiful and Live Beautiful
“In these pages, Andrea Gentl’s writing and cooking chops rival her
legendary food photography. A leading alternative doctor once
beseeched me to eat mushrooms often for their outsize adaptogenic
properties—this book is a roadmap for how and why to do so
deliciously. I’ve rarely seen such a clever, mouthwatering
collection of original recipes.”
—Lucinda Scala Quinn, author of Mad Hungry: Feeding Men and
Boys
“There are few people equipped with the keen eye, curiosity, and
mycophilic knowledge required to produce a book like this, and
Andrea Gentl does it like a true master with a forager’s heart. Her
mushroom-based recipes are so flavorful that we’ll never think of
them the same way again. Cooking with Mushrooms is inspiring,
informative, and an instant classic.”
—Elissa Altman, author of Poor Man’s Feast and Motherland
“Andrea gives us truly inventive ways to not only cook fresh
mushrooms but to coax out and preserve their best qualities so that
their funky essence can easily be added to a myriad of dishes. This
gorgeous book is a must for curious cooks everywhere.”
—Susan Spungen, author of Open Kitchen
“Magical in every sense of the word. Through a brilliant narrative
and recipes that are both inspiring and truly nourishing, this is a
thorough explanation of all things mushrooms.”
—Mariana Velásquez, author of Colombiana
“While her evocative images reveal an obvious love of her subject,
Andrea’s recipes are a testament to a lifetime of curiosity,
travel, observation, and experimentation. This book will give you
the confidence to unlock the power of fungi and open your kitchen
to an umami that, for many, has been hiding in plain sight.”

“Not only is Andrea Gentl an absolutely amazing photographer—she is
an intuitive and soulful cook. As a fellow mushroom lover, I
thought I knew what a person could do with them, but the wealth of
recipes and ideas in this book floored me. There are pestos, nut
butters, broths and tonics, crostatas, granolas, tacos, and more. A
fungus lover’s delight! I could go on, but I have to go make a
batch of Miso Mushroom Popcorn Dust. Buy this book!”

"A book so beautiful, merely leafing through it confers
forest-bathing levels of equanimity."
—The Wall Street Journal
“Andrea Gentl’s Cooking with Mushrooms is a book that’s
as beautiful as it is wildly creative. Mushroom and cauliflower
carnitas, king trumpet au poivre, brown sugar buttermilk porcini
pumpkin pie, oh my, I want them all. It’s a healthyish, hippieish
cookbook that gives the funkadelic mushroom the respect it
deserves. . . . A resource in my kitchen.”
—Bon Appétit, Best Cookbooks of 2022
"[Gentl's] book displays a dedication to treating mushrooms with
respect and a knack for getting the absolute most out of them by
paying careful attention to technique... Her one-page
explanation of five mushroom-cooking techniques is one of the best,
most succinct I’ve seen."
—Joe Yonan, The Washington Post
"Within the very first pages, it is clear [Cooking with Mushrooms]
is as complex as mycelia—and just as enticing."
—Vogue.com
“Everything you need to know about fungi. . . . Both a field guide
and an ode to the beloved mushroom and all of its transformative
properties.”
