WISCONSIN MUSHROOM GUIDE RECIPES

A bowl of warming soup is the best comfort food on a cold day. Bake a fresh batch of bread (bread recipes included) to go with your soup (try tomato, parsnip, chowder and laksa) for an easy midweek dinner, or heat up for a quick lunch

In Wisconsin, wild rice is truly wild, not cultivated as in other states, the tassels rising and swaying over rivers, lakes and floodplains come late August and September. Called manoomin by the local Chippewa, it is a protected crop that can be harvested only by state residents holding a valid license. And only by hand, as the Chippewa have always done, using wooden flails gently (the grains should fall from the stalk without great effort) from canoes propelled by paddles or push poles. Shellie Holmes of Rhinelander, Wis., who shares her recipe here, likes to cook wild rice just until it pops open. This is a break with her family’s tradition, which favored a chewier texture and did not allow popping. “Do not mix with other rice,” she urged, lest you lose the flavor of the wild.
