39. Morel Mushrooms: Chef James Kent & Foods In Season

If there ever was an ingredient that played hard to get, it is the morel. Yet this elusive mushroom, available only for a short time in spring, is highly desirable among chefs who value their deliciously forest-like, nutty taste and meaty texture with honeycomb patterns that soak up the flavors of sautés and sauces. Find out what makes this forage-to-table ingredient so special. Joining us are Chef James Kent, owner of Saga, Overstory and Crown Shy, and Johnny Anderson, founder of Foods in Season, a second-generation mushroom forager.
