Truffle has such as special taste that you should keep the recipe simple to enjoy its flavors. It is best grated on pasta or in eggs. 

Tip: You may keep fresh truffles in a box in the fridge together with whole eggs. It will give the eggs a truffle flavor!

When we have a fresh truffle, we grate it in butter and place this truffle butter in an ice cube tray in the freezer. Then, when we want to flavor a dish with truffles, we take out a butter-cube or two and add it. 

Here is a recipe we recommend for a delicious mushroom and truffle pasta dish!

INGREDIENTS

(2-3 people)

  • 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 to al dente
  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • 1 medium onion
  • Salt, pepper, olive oil

PREPARATION OF THE TRUFFLE PASTA

  • Cook the pasta so that it's al dente
  • Heat olive oil and 2 spoons of butter in a pan
  • Add the onion and garlic until it's browned (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, adding salt and pepper.
  • When ready to serve, grate the truffle on top of the plate.

Bon appétit !

My wife and I completed a 3 week driving trip out of Bordeaux which was organized by France Just for You. The Bed and Breakfast accommodations were superb, the personalized guidebook comprehensive and well-organized, and the booked activities were high quality.

In 2013 I had 2 big reasons to plan a trip to France: a new grand baby boy in Avignon, and I wanted to surprise my husband with a trip to Normandy. He absolutely loves anything and everything he can find to read or watch that is related to WWII. So, I started exploring online for a custom tour designer that could put together a great itinerary for …

My husband and I had a full week to spend in southern France before an event we were attending in Cahor. We found France Just for You and got the best care and the best itinerary for those days. We arrived on the day of a strike and Emilie took care of us. She found alternate means of transportation and stayed with us by phone and email throughout …

We couldn't recommend France Just For You highly enough. After visiting various parts of Europe on our own we were delighted to have someone else attend to all the details. Emilie was a joy to work with and couldn't have chosen better B&B's, tours and day trips to meet our needs. I can't wait to call upon her services again!

"France Just For You" is the BEST way to visit France If you want to go on a tailor made self drive holiday to France, there is no better way, but to ask Emilie and Laura from France Just For You, to arrange it for you. We have traveled overseas a couple of times already, but then you have to do a lot of homework before hand, and you never know …

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 …
