Nathalie Dupree Loves Fresh Mushrooms For Quick Meals

Nathalie Dupree's new cookbook "Nathalie Dupree Cooks Quick Meals For Busy
Days" (Clarkson Potter,February, 1996), is filled with simple yet elegant
"rush hour" recipes and time-savings tips.

To clean mushrooms: Put mushrooms in a plastic bag with two tablespoons of
flour or baking soda, fill the bag 3/4 full of cold water, then quickly
shake and drain. The mushrooms come out free of soil and need only to be
patted dry with a towel.

NOTES : One of Nathalie's speedy favorites is Warm Broccoli Mushroom Salad,
a colorful melange she serves as a side dish, or on a bed of

lettuce as a salad. The dressing is a tangy mixture of vinegar and

bacon.
