Join The Truffle Hound, Sara Hinchey, for a truffle masterclass covering origins and types of truffles, and practical tips for taking full advantage of these fabulous funghi in your kitchen.

Sara will take the group through how Australian truffles compare with those from Europe, best storage techniques, equipment and cooking principles to use when dealing with truffles. During the class you will prepare a three course lunch featuring spectacular fresh truffle before sitting down to enjoy the dishes along with a glass of wine and interesting conversation about the morning’s learnings.

Truffles have been a particular passion of Sara’s for many years; she has visited a number of Australia’s trufferies and researched their use in Europe, from Provence to Piedmont.
Fresh truffle will be available for purchase by the gram at the conclusion of the class.
