Wine OR Wine & Food

According to Foodreference.com, there have been gunfights, thefts, accusations of wide spread fraud, even mysterious disappearances of highly trained dogs. Inquiries are underway across France, and scientists have been called upon to help investigators to find the culprits.

All these investigations are conducted because of the truffle- a highly fragrant tuber which many wealthy gastronomes consider the king of all fungi. In France, the truffle commerce has always been secretive.

An expensive luxury, the truffle may be priced as high as $1250 to $1500 depending on store location, and fame of the establishment.

In this class, learn about the three types of truffles, its history and mystique, how they are grown and "hunted." Chef Gary Thompson will prepare a series of mouthwatering dishes all utilizing the truffle and truffle products such as truffle oil and truffle salt.
