how about truffle oil?
Has anyone ever cooked with it? WHere would you use it? I'm interested in
trying new flavors and recipes, but not sure if truffle oil is worth the investment...

Why don't you start with checking out the different olive oils and see what you like first? Unless you pay a lot of money for a very small bottle of truffle oil, you're not getting the real stuff anyway. I happy to love truffles, but if you've never tasted them before, wait until you do. They are an acquired taste. Or, maybe you can find a gourmet shop who will give you a taste of some they have. Doesn't hurt to ask an upscale market what they think.

I believe truffle oil is meant to be drizzled - in *very small quantities* - on or in food. Like, for example, you would spoon a tiny amount over a rich soup. Or you would use it sparingly in a mushroom sauce served with, say, pork tenderloin. You certainly wouldn't use it the same way you use other oils, like to fry stuff. Jo Anne

Well, the problem is they start with See's candy truffles -for quality oil.
I think you should just skip the oil and have the truffles directly. "determined" wrote in message . .. Has anyone ever cooked with it? WHere would you use it? I'm interested in trying new flavors and recipes, but not sure if truffle oil is worth the investment...

Truffle oil is made from the fungi, aka as "truffle". There are white truffles and black truffles. The candy is named after the fungi because it resembles a truffle. The oil has a distinct taste that is used delicately and drizzled lightly over prepared foods.

Reminds me of a dinner years ago on a business trip with a young woman who was just out of college. We were at an Italian restaurant and I ordered fettucine with truffles. She was appalled at the idea of such a dish and said it sounded like an awful combination. We talked at cross purposes for a couple of minutes until I realized she thought the dish was pasta with chocolate truffles! Chris 262/130s/130s started dieting July 2002, maintaining since June 2004
