Top chefs Karl and Leo Wrenkh have developed four new spring recipes with asparagus, wild garlic, root vegetables and wild herbs. The main ingredient of the Fungi Pad is the high-fiber king oyster mushroom, which the developers Thomas and Hermann Neuburger grow themselves in Upper Austria. It couldn't be more regional.

In keeping with the two company philosophies, participants can look forward to seasonal and regional organic recipes that are not only a treat for the palate, but also good for the environment. Because the Fungi Pad has only five natural ingredients: King oyster mushrooms, rice, organic egg, vegetable oil and spices.

In the new Fungi Pad recipes, the Wrenkh brothers focus on wild herbs such as nettle, root vegetables such as turnips and the spring classics asparagus and wild garlic:

• Fungi Pad Terriyaki Style: Udon noodles with asparagus vegetables
• Wild herb cuisine: Creamy nettle pad quinoa
• Carbonara with a twist: Pasta with fresh wild garlic and crispy fungi pad
• Springtime root delights: Roasted fungi pad on a turnip and potato puree
