Tips for great-tasting mushrooms
Cleaning: Wipe mushrooms with a moist paper towel. Don't wash or brush, which can damage them. If you see a lot of compacted dirt, scrape it off with a knife.
Storing: Use a paper bag, not plastic-which doesn't let them breathe, so they soften and rot. Even if you forget them in the paper bag, they won't be bad, just dried, and you can reconstitute them in hot water.

Cranberry frangipane crostata
Emmer farro flour, made from whole-grain emmer wheat, gives the crostata a rustic texture and great flavor. Because it's low in gluten, it needs to be mixed with all-purpose flour to hold the crust together. Sweet frangipane (almost pastry cream) mellows the tart cranberries.
