I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the chestnuts from this recipe. It was still delicious.

I couldn't find wild mushrooms, so I used cremini mushrooms instead. They were still delicious!

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I wasn't a fan of the thyme in this recipe. I think it overpowered the other flavors.

This was my first time cooking with chestnuts. They were a bit tricky to peel, but they were worth the effort.
