Truffles are a delicacy cherished around the world. The fungi grow underground and are renowned for their intense aroma and distinctive flavor, so truffles (actual truffles, not chocolate truffles) are often used sparingly to enhance the taste of various dishes. The most popular truffles for cooking are black truffles, used for their earthy and musky notes, and white truffles which are prized for their pungent and garlicky flavour. Due to their rarity and labor-intensive cultivation, though, truffles come at a high price. But if one whiff od truffle is enough to make you reach for your wallet, then you’ll want to save these truffle recipes for luxe at-home cooking. making them a symbol of luxury and culinary excellence.

Our truffles recipes come in the form of luxed-up steak sandwiches with truffled brie and simple omelettes with black truffle shavings, or you can add a small amount of truffle to sauces and side dishes to transform an otherwise humble meal into something to remember. Here are our best recipes using truffles to try this winter.
