Whether it is The Black Truffles from the Perigold Region of France or the White Truffles from the Piedmont Region of Italy, there is no greater food indulgence than the truffle. Round, warty and irregular are not often words that infer decadence, greatness and grandeur, but in this case that is quite the opposite. Labeled by the great foodie Brillat-Savarin as the "Diamond of the kitchen," these incredible fungi are the true gems of the Culinary World! These gems of the food world often fetch between $250.00-400.00 per pound and are located using specially trained pigs or dogs. This week Provence Catering will blend two incredible "Guilty Pleasures" into one great dish: Truffle Mac & Cheese! It was one of our wonderful items served at "The Taste & Tour of the Countryside." Rich, cheesy, and gooey flavored to perfection with truffles, this dish is sinful to the end.
Have you ever eaten a bowl of cereal at 3 o'clock in the morning? Have you ever traveled many miles to get your favorite milkshake? Have you ever ordered cookies from a small bakery half way across the world? Have you ever driven an hour and a half to get your favorite chinese food? Have you ever bought an extra fridge to store the most delicious homemade baklava in order to have it when the craving strikes? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are in the club.
