Truffle has such as special taste that you should not go for a complicated recipe to enjoy its flavours...The best is to grate it on pasta or in eggs. You may keep fresh truffles in a box in the fridge together with whole eggs...it will give the taste to the eggs.

What we do when we have a fresh truffle (not really often): we grate it in butter and place this truffle butter in ice-cube compartments in the freezer. Then, when we want to flavor a dish with truffles, we just get a butter-cube or 2. 

INGREDIENTS

  • a small can of truffles in the oil or even better a little piece of fresh truffle to grate on top of the pasta
  • 2 cups of fresh mushrooms (shiitake, button, paris)
  • 300g of thick cream
  • 300g of fresh linguini or tagliatelle which you will cook al dente
  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • 1 medium onion
  • salt, pepper, olive oil

PREPARATION OF THE TRUFFLE PASTA

  • Cook the pasta al dente
  • Heat olive oil and 2 spoons of butter in a pan
  • add the onion and garlic until it gets brown but not burnt
  • stir all the mushrooms and keep a little bit of the mushroom water in there so it won't get dry
  • add the cream and pasta and mix it all + salt and pepper.
  • when ready to serve, grate the truffle on top of the plate.

Emilie and Guillaume: I want to send you this special thank you for making this trip truly spectacular! Our time in France was memorable precisely because of the people we've met, and the unique experiences we've had. We owe that all to you. There's no way that we ever would have been able to find the bed and breakfasts that you booked for us. And …

We have just returned from a road trip around France and with Emilie's help, we had one of the best trips we've ever had. We travel extensively and I normally do my own research and bookings because we don't like using formal , organised tours and we were looking for advice on self driving holidays in France. Emilie's attention to detail is …

Emilie was a joy to work with - we were completely pleased with our experience! Do not hesitate to use her services - she will do everything to make your trip perfect. We don't care for group/bus "one-size-fits-all" type of tours - but I didn't feel confident enough with my grasp of French to go it alone. France Just For You is the perfect solution …

We enjoy drive yourself travel and located Emilie's France Just For You online. How fortunate we were. In September and early October we traveled 17 days in Loire, Bordeaux, Dordogne, Carcassonne and Provence. All the accommodations were in historic B&Bs. Our hosts were invariably gracious and helpful. At every stop Emilie included a home cooked …

We loved the fact that our trip had structure, but at the same time, we had freedom to explore as we wished. We also loved the fact that the trip included guided tours, but we were not tied to a tour group as such. Emilie planned our trip according to …
