NZ Winter Truffles
Périgord black truffles (tuber melanosporum) are the champagne of truffles for discerning chefs who treasure its earthy aroma and rich chocolate flavour.
Grown beneath the soil among the root systems, the truffle develops a symbiotic relationship with the trees. When ripe, the truffle brings to mind the scent of undergrowth, strawberries, wet earth or dried fruit with a hint of cocoa. Traditionally pigs were trained to detect the scent, but they tended to enjoy the truffles a little too much before the growers could get their hands on them, so now dogs are more commonly used to hunt out these treasured fungi.

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
