Wild Mushroom Chowder
Chowder - something that really reminds me of when I was living in the UK about 13 years ago. During the cold months in cloudy, rainy England, a nice wholesome chowder is about the only thing that will bring warmth into your heart. Although there's absolutely no way our months here in Melbourne are that bad, I'm excited to have such a great excuse to chow down on this wonderfully hearty dish!
