This is my favourite breakfast, any day of the week! White truffle oil is available from Simon Johnson and most Gourmet Food Stores. I use sourdough bread (I always have a sliced loaf in the freezer for toasting) but soy and linseed bread works well too:
Mash a ripe avocado with a fork and mix through ½ teaspoon white truffle oil and some freshly ground pepper and sea salt. Spread on top of toasted sourdough bread and drizzle with a little extra truffle oil.
Bon appetite!
This impressive yet dead easy dish is equally good served at a casual barbeque with salad, or a more formal affair with all the trimmings. Use a selection of whatever herbs you have on hand, such as thyme, rosemary, flat-leaf parsley, oregano and basil, or use coriander, lemongrass, grated lime rind and ginger for an…
Happy New Year! As it’s the 1st of January today, I felt it appropriate to make a traditional Dutch New Year’s treat – Oliebollen. It’s a ritual I have been doing for many New Year’s Days, as my husband is Dutch, and I lived in the Netherlands for 3 years (where I learnt how to…
Enjoy the last of the summer fruit for the season in this refreshing fruit salad. The lime syrup enhances the taste of the fruit and adds a delicious tang. You can use any combination of fruits for this healthy no-fuss dessert – my favourites: mango, papaya and berries.
With the festive season fast approaching, it’s that time of the year to catch up with friends and family before Christmas.

Where I live (Queensland’s Sunshine Coast) is pineapple country and we are lucky enough to enjoy the sweetest of pineapples at a fraction of the price that city dwellers pay. Because they are readily available all year round, I normally have one sitting in my fruit bowl and enjoy using them in my cooking in…
Who doesn’t love pasta, especially when it is served with a sumptous sauce? I created this delicious dish for my Pasta Making and Italian Sauces Cooking Class, and it is always a winner with my participants. Stracci in Italian means “rags” and as a culinary term means loosely cut or torn pasta. All you need…
I love this Breakfast idea as I tend to stick with the cereal/fruit/yogurt brekkie which after a while gets boring!! Thank you Gail – is the White Truffle Oil cholestrol free I wonder?
Hi Mary, White Truffle Oil is generally made with extra virgin olive oil. As you probably already know, olive oil lowers the bad cholesterol (LDL) and increases the good cholesterol (HDL) so it is the oil of choice if you are concerned about your health. Just check the label when buying truffle oil to make sure that the oil used is actually olive oil.
