Product Description
Review
Aficionados, chefs, and cooking students can learn a lot here about these lords of the fungi realm. -- Mark Knoblauch Booklist 20080101 You should buy this book. ... It is pretty amazingly thoughtful and comprehensive and will surely become dirt-stained and probably also soiled by your truffle pig as you develop your empire. Really. -- Kathie Hodge Cornell Mushroom Blog 20080220 A fascinating new book. -- Cindy McNatt Orange County Register 20080206
Product Description
Whether the world's best truffles are found in Piedmont or Périgord inspires impassioned debate, but the effects of dwindling supply and insatiable demand for the elusive, ultimate mushroom are unquestionable: prices through the roof, intrigue and deception, and ever more intensive efforts to cultivate. Here in the most comprehensive practical treatment of the gastronomic treasure to date, the art and science of the high-stakes pursuit come together. The authors describe the commercial species in detail along with their host plants, natural habitats, cultivation, and maintenance, pests and diseases, and harvesting with pigs, dogs, truffle flies, and even the electronic nose.
