Kara Chin

Truffles are the fruiting body of a fungus. Because fungi cannot make their own food, truffles latch on to a tree’s roots, receiving and helping absorb nutrients in a symbiotic relationship.

Potato Gratin with White Truffle Cream

This was a straightforward kind of dish because I really just wanted to taste the truffle cream with a background of potatoes. I buttered some small ramekins and placed one layer

Black Truffle & Cheese Grits Pastry Chef Online

Gourmet Attitude had sent over a bottle of truffle carpaccio a few months back and I've been savoring every ebony sliver of pungent truffle goodness. It's a diminutive $35 bottle, but I've gotten four meals out of it so far

Artichoke Velouté with Black Truffle Carpaccio

Velouté in French means, “velvety,” and this soup is made velvety, not by creating a butter and flour roux, as are most French velouté sauces, but rather by puréeing the soup (including the artichokes and potatoes)

La Boutique de Truffe started in 2003 by a French immigrant, Céline Labaune, who has a passion for truffles. Why am I telling you this? Because if I am going to spend $35 for a 3-ounce pot of truffles, it helps to buy them from someone who is passionate about them.

Pickled Blackberries with Truffled Honey

Blackberries are very easy to pickle. Because they are soft and porous, it only takes a small amount of time to infuse them with flavor. First you clean your berries well (they can be pretty dirty little things).
