Tips for cooking with truffles:

• Fats enhance the full flavor of truffles.  Pair them with foods like foie gras, butter, cheese, cream and oils.
• Pasta, rice and potatoes are the “holy trinity” of cooking with truffles.  Bland foods bring out the flavor of truffles.
• The three “S’s” of cooking with truffles - Shave, Sliver and Slice: Maximize the truffle flavor by using the least amount as possible. Always slice into paper-thin wedges or strips, and let them work their magic.

• Save the Peel! If the recipe asks for a peeled truffle, save the peel to use for other recipes or sauces.
