Hot and Cheesy Mushroom Dip

“I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years and I resolved that it was time for change! Now I spend my free time searching for and trying tasty new recipes from all over the world. One of my favourite ingredients is the mushroom and I never tire of experimenting with new mushroom dishes.”
