Ingredients:: Porcini + Shiitake

I find myself wondering about the origin and source of some of my favourite food ingredients (if there's ever such a thing). When my curiosity is suitably piqued, I research the ingredients for a better understanding of their benefits to health and overall well-being. So from time to time, I will be sharing some interesting findings with you as they relate to my personal experiences - especially in my recipes.

For my first posting in this category, I have selected 2 ingredients that are probably high up on my ten favourite ingredients list. 

Porcini Mushrooms - Boletus Edulis
