Meer over het boek

Truffles have replaced saffron as the most valued culinary item. Gourmets will pay up to $500 per pound for this delicacy. In his new book, star chef Patrik Jaros takes the reader on a treasure hunt and initiates them into the preparation of this delicacy. There is a subtle philosophy, from the painstaking search, to its incorporation into the most regal of dishes – the truffle is a lifestyle. On 260 large format pages, the aroma of the white as well as the black truffle confers a breath of exclusivity on each course of the menu, leaving no preparation question unresolved. An outstanding journey through the world of the truffle inspired by the masterly photographed dishes.
