Personally overwhelmed by the all-encompassing scent of a freshly dug truffle, Jacobsen...determines to find the secrets behind the subterranean fungus.
... an engaging work that blends history with travel and food writing.
A deep dive into all things truffle that’s somewhat repetitive in places, but well written and full of interesting characters and fascinating facts..
Jacobsen captivates with this dual narrative, both an eloquent and sensuous treatise on truffles and the enthralling story of his obsessive quest to learn everything there is to know about them.
A Mark Kurlansky–esque romp through the science, history, and culture surrounding that most elusive of foodstuffs, the truffle.
