Chef Dirk Hermann developed his passion for food and madness for mushrooms as a young boy growing up in the Bavarian Alps. Dirk's parents where restauranters who frequently traded with wild mushroom hunters for meals, and the light to dark, sweet to bitter, famous Bavarian beers. Dirk continued this tradition as a chef and restaurant owner in his homeland as well as the US. 

Dirk is known as the 'L.A. Funghi', and his remarkable assortment of mushrooms can be found at the Sunday Hollywood Farmers Market, and other local farmers markets.....

One of the simplest mushroom techniques of all, stuffed...

..and they can be stuffed with most anything.

 Above is a simple mix of walnuts, spinach, basil, mushroom stems, and feta cheese, 

and quickly broiled for 10-15 minutes.
