Maggie: Truffles & Snow, February 2015

Eat your hearts out. 



We had an absolutely glorious truffle hunt on Saturday afternoon, with an incredible truffle hound called Brandille, and a truffler who has won trophies.  Unfortunately it was not at OUR truffière, but that of a friend near Lalbenque.  We collected about 2 kg.  Today we had brouillade for brunch, along with truffled brie that I prepared a few weeks ago, and salad with truffled olive oil and truffled balsamic vinegar.
The colors were magnificent between Lalbenque and Limogne-en-Quercy, and then we hit a snowstorm between Villefranche-de-Rouergue and Rieupeyroux.   




Couldn't have asked for a more splendid end to the school break.
