Truffle Recipes- Truffle Risotto

Truffles will send your nose into a tizzy. Known as the diamonds of the culinary world, truffles have a pungent, sensuous distinct flavour. Black truffles are more common and therefore less expensive, but the aroma of the white truffle is far superior. If cooking black truffles add some truffle oil to boost flavour.

Here are two of our favourite recipes, Truffle Risotto and White Truffle Carbonara.
