Satisfaction Guaranteed...
More-ish Recipes from The Mushroom Bureau
Official Partner of National Vegetarian Week
19 - 25 May 2003

The Vegetarian Society is pleased to announce that The Mushroom Bureau has taken up the seven-day veggie challenge for this year's National Vegetarian Week. Not only have they commissioned the Cordon Vert school to develop a magical mushroom menu from our basic 'Satisfaction' recipes, but The Bureau has also become an official partner of National Vegetarian Week 2003!

The Mushroom Bureau menu features an array of different types of cultivated mushrooms - with this much choice of taste and texture on offer there's a mushroom dish to really satisfy everyone.

If you're mushroom mad you can celebrate National Vegetarian Week with seven whole days of mushroom meals! The following recipes and photographs can be downloaded from the mushroom Bureau's website www.mushroom-uk.com from 1st February.

1. Chilled Exotic Mushroom soup with oyster & shiitake mushrooms.
2. Mushroom & Saffron Herb Potato Salad with button & enoki mushrooms.
3. Mushroom, Spinach & Ricotta Tarts with chestnut mushrooms.
4. Mushroom Wheel & Cashew Sauce with flat mushrooms.
5. Mushroom Foccacia Pizza with open cup mushrooms.
6. Barbecued Mushroom & Tortellini Kebabs with closed cup mushrooms.
7. Tangy Mushroom & Tomato Casserole with blewit & horse mushrooms.

The Vegetarian Society is the oldest vegetarian organisation in the world. It offers an independent voice to promote and provide information on vegetarianism.
