Clean the mushrooms by brushing with a kitchen towel or a brush to remove any loose dirt. Remove the shitake stems and discard. Quarter the mushrooms and set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer in the pan. Do not pile the mushrooms on top of one another. Increase the heat to high and cook mushrooms until brown then turn them over with a spoon or by shaking the pan. If skillet seems dry add the additional 2 tablespoons butter. Cook until nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Add the shallot or onion and garlic and cooked until softened about 3 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, and thyme. Add the Madeira wine and scrape up all of the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Cook for about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from heat and serve.

Place a large, deep skillet over medium heat and add the butter and oil. Add the carrots, onion, celery and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Clean the mushrooms, trimming or removing tough stems depending on the variety, and cutting any that are very large into smaller pieces. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and continue to cook until the mushrooms are soft and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add the stock, sherry, bay leaf and tomato paste and simmer gently until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the mushrooms to taste with salt and pepper, stir in the savory and parsley and transfer the mixture to a casserole dish. Sprinkle the top with the cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately with buttered pasta or rice on the side.

In a small bowl, soak the dried porcini in 1 cup warm water until soft, about 20 minutes. Remove, squeeze gently, and chop coarsely. Discard water, and set mushrooms aside. In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add shallot and garlic, and cook until slightly soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add porcini, and saute 1 minute. Add cremini, and cook 1 minute more. Turn up heat to medium high, and add remaining mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Add chopped rosemary, and stir gently until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and carefully add Cognac (you’ll have some flames).

Soak the dried mushrooms in 150ml warm water. Set aside for 20 mins, then drain and squeeze, reserving the soaking liquid. Heat the butter in a large frying pan. When sizzling, add the shallot and cook for a few mins until soft. Add the garlic and thyme leaves, cook for 1 min more, then turn up the heat and add the soaked mushrooms. After 1 min, add all the other mushrooms and fry over a very high heat for 5 mins until soft. Splash in the red wine and boil rapidly for 1 min. Pour in the stock and reserved mushroom liquid, and simmer for 15 mins until you have a thickened stew. Turn off the heat. For the polenta, bring the milk to the boil with 500ml water, the bay and thyme. Turn off the heat and leave to infuse for 20 mins, then fish out the herbs and bring back to the boil. Add the polenta in a steady stream, whisking steadily. Cook for 1 min until thickened, then stir in the butter and Parmesan. Spoon a ‘crater’ of polenta onto a baking tray and fill with the ragout. Top with slices of Taleggio, place under a hot grill until melting and oozy, then let everyone help themselves.
