Helpful cooking tips
First of all, I would like to note such a point as the selection and preparation of champignons. If you pick mushrooms in the forest, then it is important to know the characteristics of champignons. For example, this is required so as not to confuse an edible mushroom with a false champignon, which is poisonous.
