10 truffle recipes for Australian truffle season

Long days out truffle hunting in the middle of winter makes us incredibly eager for cosy evenings by the fire with family, friends, and a good feed. Visitors abound in truffle season, and we love keeping a few truffles aside to share. We’ve been lucky enough to witness some of the best chefs in the world cooking with our truffles. It’s inspiring and incredibly delicious, but when it comes to cooking with truffles at home, we keep it rustic.

Here’s our favourite truffle recipes, simple but still a far cry from Gavin’s pre truffle hunting days, cooking in the Royal Navy.

• Truffle tagliatelle

• Baked truffle brie

• Truffle butter

• Hot truffle dipping oil

• Scrambled eggs on toast with fresh truffle

• Rodney Dunn's capretto braised in goat's milk with truffle (we use Venison instead of goat)

• David Coomer's Manjimup salad

• Paul Wilson's grilled tiger prawns with Ortiz anchovies and fresh truffle

• Rodney Dunn's Agraian Kitchen truffle and potato potage

• Delicious Mag's truffle negroni
