Chanterelle Pasta
Our team had the opportunity to join Hannah and Duncan in the preparation of their new kitchen’s first dish and it was delicious. It was also an adventure – before the cooking began, we ventured to the forest to search for the recipe’s star ingredient: chanterelle mushrooms. Hannah led us swiftly through her and Duncan’s favorite foraging route in the dense forest near Mary's Peak in Philomath, Oregon.
