Some fantastic products arrived at my door the other day and while I sometimes get things that are a little challenging to create recipes from, this one is going to be the most challenging by far. Seriously, who wants to make lame dishes with good truffle oils, porcini oils, truffle butters and truffle honey? daRosario offers organic oils, butters and honey made with only the best ingredients, so I have my little thinking cap on and I am going to make some napoleons with polenta and wild mushrooms, I will make some kind of seasonal fresh pasta, maybe a ramp pasta or some other spring veggie. I will have to make something out of fiddlehead ferns, something with early peas and snowpeas, I still need to grill that Permit and thats where I am now. I am still in the planning stages it could all change when I hit the markets. If you have any ideas or requests or suggestions I am open for anything.

Oooh, lucky doggy! Such a lovely assortment of products. Sweet! Personally, I'm giving my vote to that polenta napoleon ... I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting to read about it. Yum!
jenn: I am so tickled and excited you cant imagine - I want to pour it on popcorn....
beth: really? you are coming? but guess what - thats international salmon weekend -
diva: the polenta is gonna be good but I have a seasonal veggie gnocchi in mind that just might beat it...

We made ramp risotto the other day...it was great. Can't wait to see the finished dishes...plural, I hope!
Wow--looks great!! I just got some freebies in the mail, too...
You should make Pinknest's Truffled Egg Toast And then bring some to me for breakfast tomorrow ;)
Free goodies!!! I will think in something simple to make the truffle flavor be the star of the dish.

So I expect wild mushrooms and snowpeas??? I can wait to see how they turn out... And by the way who said Christo cant make dishes with ingredients (name any) ;)
Im sure you will rise to the challenge of using these wonderful ingredients. No doubt.
black truffle butter goes wonderfully with beef...or in mac and cheese. (my doctor is always bragging about her truffle oil mac and cheese) I'm really looking forward to what you come up with with these beautiful ingredients!
oooh freebies! i'm jealous, these look tasty and i'm sure you'll pull together some fantastic dishes with them!
Truffle butter?
Now I want some of that, just spread on toasted pane pugliese, please.
That truffle oil is awesome. Can't wait to see your creations!
ramya: I really hope to find some mushrooms...
donna: double entendre much?
michele: I cant wait to slather it on everything...
hornsfan: cant beat that-
stacey: now I have to google pane pugliese - so that I can find out more than that it is bread from puglia...
lisa: did you have some?
Lucky you! I'd love some truffle oil.
Shut up! Is that white truffle butter I see???!!! You are so lucky. Before I left the restaurant world my addition to our truffle tasting menu was a white wine poached pear, sliced and bruleed. On top was white truffle ice cream - basically a vanilla ice cream with chopped white truffle folded in. Truffles are to die for and I am so jealous you got all that stuff!
