At first they seem so humble. Plain in color, small in stature, dirty around the gills. But dress them up just a little and they will be the biggest hit at your next party. I'm talking about mushrooms, of course. Those simple, little woodland growths that, like a runway waif, provide the perfect canvas for any dressing you choose to bestow upon them. Whether it's inexpensive toppings such as cheddar and bacon, or luxury ingredients like crab meat or Stilton, the modest mushroom wears them equally well.
Turn the humble mushroom into the star of your next party with the help of these fabulous appetizer and hors d'oeuvres recipes.
