From USA TODAY:

Bon Appetit restaurant editor Andrew Knowlton shares with Kelly DiNardo for USA TODAY his list of 10 spots to tuck into timely treats

Nostrana Portland, Ore.

Many of the foods we crave in winter have a high factor of “umami,” considered the fifth taste after bitter, salty, sweet and sour. Chanterelles, bright orange mushrooms with a meaty taste and fruity smell, are rich in umami, which may be why many consider them “the pinnacle of mushrooms.” Nostrana features a trio of chanterelle dishes that includes scamorza cheese with chanterelles and bruschetta, farro or wheat barley with chanterelles in a risotto-style dish, and chanterelles brushed with marsala wine and served as a rillete. 503-234-2427; nostrana.com
