Mushrooms work well, like oyster and chanterelle mushrooms, but truffles work also. Sometimes toasty things, like toast points, toasted baguette slices, crackers, brioche, pair well with the toastiness in the champagne. Use these...

Does anyone have a good source for chocolate truffle recipes? I’m interested in doing soemthing a little different, like a champagne truffle. Any suggestion on sites...books??

Chaource cheese is from the Champagne region and would be a natural choice as a cheese course. Also a chicken terrine/pate/mousse would work well also. Lastly I might try a pasta course with a cream sauce made with either...

Last year I ordered the damier of st. jacques and truffles at gagnaire. it was marvelous — a perfect checkerboard served in a deep plate, and sauced at the table with champagne. The preparation was as transparent as you...

We have rescheduled our ED reservations so as to be there when the Black Truffle menu is on. It is $133 compared to $77 on the regular menu. I was wondering if anyone has had it. They faxed a menu and it sounds wonderful, but not...

Kee’s is on Thompson St., and her truffles are very good. My favorites, however, are the champagne truffles at Teuscher.

Actually, they sold at Vday and still sell the Champagne (dusted outside, chocolate no fruit or anything inside) and Chocolate (dusted) truffles....I love the Chocolate and really hated the Champagne ones....
