LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDRE SIMON AWARD 2021 'Truffle Hound, like a
truffle, charms by seducing us' Mark Kurlansky A captivating
exploration into the secretive and sensuous world of truffles, the
elusive food that has captured hearts, imaginations, and palates
worldwide. The scent of one freshly unearthed white truffle in
Barolo was all it took to lead Rowan Jacobsen down a rabbit hole
into a world of secretive hunts, misty woods, black-market deals,
obsessive chefs, quixotic scientists, muddy dogs, maddening smells,
and some of the most memorable meals ever created. Truffles attract
dreamers, schemers, and sensualists. People spend years training
dogs to find them underground. They plant forests of oaks and wait
a decade for truffles to appear. They pay GBP2,170 a pound to
possess them. They turn into quivering puddles in their presence.
Why? Truffle Hound is the fascinating account of Rowan's quest to
find out, a journey that would lead him from Italy to Istria,
Hungary, Spain, England, and North America. Both an entertaining
odyssey and a manifesto, Truffle Hound demystifies truffles-and
then remystifies them, freeing them from their gilded cage and
returning them to their roots as a sacred offering from the forest.
It helps people understand why they respond so strongly to that
crazy smell, shows them there's more to truffles than they ever
imagined, and gives them all the tools they need to take their own
truffle love to the next level. Deeply informed, unabashedly
passionate, rakishly readable, Truffle Hound will spark Britain's
next great culinary passion.
