Oh I do love mushrooms Anna! When I ran my demos I realised that so many people are highly allergic, I had no idea 🤷‍♀️

I have to admit that I’m the same - I’ve tried and tried but I don’t like them!! I did have a childhood trauma with them so I think that compounded it for me 😢

I once announced to a cooking class i was teaching that I didn't think I could be friends with anyone who didn't love mushrooms. The next day I got a call from the director of the cooking school that I must never again say anything so divisive or I'd never be able to come back!
