Sorry for the lack of comment love peoples, but it’s been a hectic couple of weeks. T minus two weeks til I head over to Europe and do a little truffle hunting of my own in the markets of Paris and London.

This was indeed a great day though. More truffle than any one man can handle… but I think i could get used to it. Much love must go to the Slow Food Perth peoples for organising a fantastic and very affordable way to dip your toes into the world of trufflery.

And to Shannon Bennett for keeping it rockstar… like it should be.

Aren’t they just divine, Matt?

This weekend, I had the pleasure of indulging in the Manjimup Truffle Degustation dinner – 7 courses matched with Watershed wines @ The Watershed.

Matt, since I read this entry a week ago now, I have been a little green with envy and refrained from commenting until I got a grip on myself. Great photos and words, and as always, a pleasure to read. Really what else can say? You got to spend a WHOLE day — no, TWO days with truffles! I’m having Homer-Simpson-drooling-over-donuts moments every time I read this.

matt, totally agree with u re shannon bennett not looking healthy! i’ve always had issues with his long straggly hair. doesn’t that go against occ health and safety laws? i’ve heard journalists describe his look as hip and rocker-ish but to me he just looks like a bum! thank god he can cook!

The food looked great Matt. Is Australia finally starting to develop a truffle culture now that we are starting to grow some ourselves? I’ve been reading a lot of blogs lately all talking about truffles.

I must be in the 99.95% category that hasn’t yet tried a truffle. I’ve had food that have been infused with truffles but not truffles as it is. I want to try that egg and toast combo.
