29 September 201612 July 2019 EVENTSUsta for autumn Monika Brzywczy This is the end of your summer adventures, conquests of the world, travelling near and far. Here comes the autumn - the time of transformation. It is a time when you go deeper into your inner world. On this time of the year USTA Magazine invites you for a mushroom hunt. We learn about mushroom types, both the common and the new arrivals, we cook exotic mushrooms, we search for mushrooms in art. And for dessert we prepared a guide to San Francisco – we selected the best bars, restaurants and cafes. We talked to Nick Balla, the chef at Tartine Bar, we paid a visit to vineyards in Napa and Sonoma, we met with French physical chemist Hervé This, who created the notion of molecular gastronomy.
20 September 201512 July 2019 RECIPESTagliatelle with roasted figs, mushrooms and hazelnuts Monika Brzywczy How's the mushroom season? The USTA Team is currently in Scandinavia, where the hats tempt us in the forest and stalls. That's why Mickey Rotten decided to join in his series of recipes announced before walnut with chanterelle mushrooms in a delicious tagliatelle. He added generously a bit of figs, because there are such amounts of them in the grocery stores, that it's hard to resist. But the dish tastes as well only with mushrooms or chanterelles. If you will have some vegan peanut butter left, you can also use it for a sandwich or pancakes for breakfast the next day.

It was beautiful and sunny, but cold. We dreamed of a pot of soup cooked over the fire. And here it is: warming, easy to do. Vegan version of stew prepared by Mickey Rooten. Mushrooms, thyme and Porto give the special flavor.
