It's true that it's a somewhat "Out of the ordinary" recipe but it truly has a story: It was late April when I received a phone call from Strasbourg where Jean-Marie and Antonella are living happy days it was simply to let me know that he had picked beautiful morels around their place. No sooner said than done 2 days later
