A Western Australian Truffle Story

Calling a truffle an underground mushroom really doesn’t do it justice. If you’ve never tasted a truffle, it’s going to be hard to describe. Earthy, rich, nutty, musty are terms that go some way towards defining it, but fail to really encapsulate what all the fuss is about. It’s no exaggeration to say that in the hands of a skilled chef, the truffle can work miracles. It enhances and enriches flavours in a way that is nothing short of magical.
