Very delicious. Loved it. Made these with my mom. It was pretty simple and we did have a little batter left over.

As another reviewer stated, you can cut back on the amt of batter b/c I had a lot left over. I liked this for the ease of making it and w/a few ingredients and you can add your own choice of herbs. I didn't make the dipping sauce. Giada's mushrooms looked a bit greasy but I tried it anyway;, it was a bit too greasy for me too. I might try using club soda next time. In a pinch, a quick recipe to whip up fast with any veggie...onion rings might be good too.

Tough time with this batter in the altitude, but regarding the flavor, I just didn't get it. Lacking the earthiness mushroom flavor I was hoping for.

These mushrooms were a big hit! Easy to prepare and a nice change from the standard appetizer fare. There is enough batter to make double the mushrooms. Be careful, they are very hot when they come out. I used a winter ale for the beer and it gave it a great but not overpowering beer flavor. We liked the dipping sauce and thought would also be great on grilled artichokes. I grated parmigiano reggiano on the mushrooms right after they came out and sprinkled fresh chopped parsley over them. Yum! I'd like to try this same batter recipe with green beans or asparagus. Thanks Giada! This was a delicious and different appetizer and gave me lots of new ideas as well.
