From the 15th of October to the 15th of December 2010, at the Pousada Convento de Belmonte, an ARTEH Hotel in Belmonte, will teach the secrets of the mushroom, through training sessions on their harvest, preparation and confection.
 
Early in the morning, Chef Valdir Lubave walks through the forest with a wicker basket looking for boletes, red pine mushrooms, man-on-horseback and other wild mushrooms. "It's in the morning one picks the freshest ingredients, which undoubtedly give a different quality to every dish prepared..."
 
The delicacies are various. From a mushroom cappuccino with foam made from the convent garden herbs, octopus grilled on a laurel stick with braised chantarel and pleurotus, veal with Spring morchela cream with black truffle puré and herb crisp; and to finish a pineapple jam with boletus ice-cream
