Today is the first day of the Mushrooms Masters – A Tournament of Taste “Shiitake Showdown!”, a food blogging competition between the US, Canada and Australia. Bloggers from these countries have been recruited to create fantastic, mind blowing recipes to compete against the other nations in a side by side comparison, where you (the readers) get to vote for the winners! So far Canada has one winner and Australia another. Can we squeak out another win for Canada this week?
Ongoing until September 28th (September 27th is the last day to vote!), you can vote for your favourite recipe, your favourite country or even your favourite blogger! Just visit Tastespotting.com to vote for the winners or click the shortcut available in my left sidebar <——-
To see each of the recipes go to The Mushrooms Canada Blog or go directly to my recipe.
We have some great Canadian Foodies on our team so far: Kevin from Closet Cooking, Angela from Oh She Glows, and Jeannette from Everybody Likes Sandwiches so I’m super excited to be a part of the whole thing. My recipe for shiitake crusted pizza with steak and shiitakes, smothered in Gruyere cheese and loaded with all sorts of other goodies is up for voting today!
So get out there and vote for Canada!!

Wow shiitake pizza. that sounds so richly flavored and earthy. I love your pictures- they are full of emotions and feeling.
Wow Spencer, that comment though not many words, really means a lot to me. I try to put raw emotions in my pictures, and I hope people feel it too!
