Holiday Greetings! I have not personally had any experience cooking with truffles. However, when I visited Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada years ago, I went to a nice restaurant, and enjoyed some black truffles with my steak. They had a somewhat unusual flavor, and they had a pleasant aroma. At today's high prices for truffles, I doubt that I will be eating any more of them in the near future. HaHa! I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy and Prosperous New Year! Regards, knightlaird
