A little more of a "gourmet" recipe than I usually make, but it was good--and filling! I used porcini mushrooms, but, with the quantity the recipe called for, they tended to dominate the whole flavor of the dish. I would halve that amount next time. On the other hand, I was worried that the amount of oysters and oyster liquor it called for would tend to make the stew fishy tasting. But was pleasantly surprised!
