Attention interested food snobs: We pickers of wild mushrooms know something you probably don’t know. Frozen pizzas don’t get enough respect in this world, especially in a world where we all enjoy frozen pizzas once in a while. Even food snobs.

We mushroom-loving eaters of frozen pizzas know an ordinary frozen pizza can be transformed into an honestly noteworthy meal we truly enjoy, thanks to the addition of a handful of fresh wild mushrooms we just picked.

For some reason, being able to show off this frozen cleverness to food snobs in the frozen dead of winter in Illinois makes being a mushroom picker much more satisfying than being a food snob.


TIP: Soak the fresh mushrooms in salty water before baking. Moisture keeps them juicy in the oven--salt brings out flavor. When the mushroom edges brown, it’s pizza time.
