The timing of this essay is so funny because I purposely bought cremini mushrooms at the farmer’s market this past Saturday because I felt like I’ve been neglecting them for “fancier” mushrooms, even though they’re just as good. In case you were wondering, I plan on making a mushroom sauce for steak and garnish with some homemade ramp salt. I’d always though cremini was a fancy word for button mushroom and this post led me down a research rabbit hole. I was surprised to learn that button, cremini, and portobello are all the same mushroom. Buttons are the babies, creminis are the teens, and portobellos are adults. Who knew lol!
I am very excited about your new book. I want to pre-order. The link takes me to the Hachette page. I do not see a way to pre-order unless I go to Amazon or other vendors. Will I still be eligible for the cool gifts if I go through Amazon or Target?

It's such a fun food fact (I had no idea either until recently!) And that sounds delicious, particularly with homemade ramp salt!

Yes, absolutely! We're giving them to everyone who preorders.
Love me some mush! Dope food! Have you tried making gnudi? https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9kXmEqO3Kd/?igsh=c2NkaHR4cXBrZHI2
So good! I've tried to make it before but it's been years. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
