TRUMPET ROYALE MUSHROOMS WITH CELERY ROOT AND APPLE SLAW

Steps:

• Combine the celery root and apples in a large bowl, toss with 1/2 of the apple cider vinegar and season with salt. Let it sit for about 1 hour. This will soften the celery root and apples.
• Preheat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cut the mushrooms in half lengthwise and season with salt. When the pan is hot, coat with oil and arrange the mushrooms, cut side down, in the pan. Saute until the mushrooms are soft and golden brown. Flip the mushrooms over and repeat this process on the other side.
• While the mushrooms are cooking, drain the excess liquid from the celery root and apple mixture, if there is any. Return the celery root and apples to the bowl, add the creme fraiche and horseradish and about 1/2 of the remaining vinegar and season with salt, to taste. Stir to combine. Taste and add the remaining vinegar if you like things very acidic; adjust the salt, if needed.
• Divide the "slaw" between 4 serving plates. Lay 2 halves of the grilled mushrooms on top of the slaw and dress with mache and a sprinkling of onions.
• MMMMM mushroomy!

MUSHROOM, LEEK AND PROSCIUTTO PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to its highest setting (500 degrees F). Preheat a cast-iron grill pan to medium heat.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and saute for about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Lightly flour a cutting board and roll out the pizza dough into an oval shape that will fit the grill pan. Coat the preheated grill pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Brush the dough with 2 teaspoons olive oil and place it, oiled-side down, on the grill pan¿the dough will start to bubble as it cooks. Cook until grill marks form, 3 to 5 minutes; flip, and continue cooking on the reverse side until grill marks form and the dough has stiffened, about 3 minutes.
• Remove the pizza to a baking sheet, top with the mushrooms-leek mixture and sprinkle with the cheese. Place in the oven and cook until the cheeses melts, 5 to 7 minutes depending on how hot your oven is.
• Remove the pizza from the oven and add the prosciutto. Slice into small bites and serve.

GRILLED QUAIL, TUSCAN-STYLE

Steps:

• Start wood or charcoal fire or preheat gas grill or broiler.
• Cut along each side of the breastbone of each bird, then straight down through where thigh meets body to get 2 semi-boneless halves from each bird. (Don't worry if skin holding thigh and drumstick together separates.) Combine with all other ingredients in bowl or heavy plastic bag and stir or shake to coat. If time allows, marinate for an hour or so.
• Grill quail, turning as needed, until browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST STUFFED WITH PROSCIUTTO AND BASIL

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• On a work surface spread prosciutto slices evenly with mustard. Top slices with basil leaves and sprinkle evenly with mozzarella. Starting with a short end roll up each prosciutto slice.
• Pat chicken dry and put on a work surface, skinned sides down. Remove "tender" (fillet strip located on either side of where breast bone was) from each breast half, keeping rest of chicken breast intact, and reserve tenders for another use. (There should be 1 tender from each breast half.)
• To form a long thin pocket in chicken for prosciutto roll: Put chicken breast halves on cutting board and, beginning at thicker end of breast half, horizontally insert a thin sharp knife three fourths of the way through center of each. Open cut to create a 1-inch-wide pocket in each half. Fit a prosciutto roll into each pocket and season chicken with salt and pepper.
• Grill chicken on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, chicken may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately low heat.)
