Mister Truffle is founded on 3 ideas.
Ingredients should be accessible to everyone.
When I was trying to buy some truffles to play with in the kitchen, I found I was going to have to pay a huge sum for a quantity of truffles that were going to go to waste. My only option was to try some jarred truffles, and quite frankly it was not the pinnacle of my gastronomic journey.
I believe everyone who loves being in the kitchen should have access to fresh truffles in just the quantity they want. That’s why I will sell one single gram of truffle if that’s what you want.
everyone should have fun experimenting in the kitchen.
Because you don’t have to spend hundreds of pounds on your truffles from us, I hope you can experiment with them in the kitchen and have fun creating great new truffle recipes.
I’ve already worked with chefs to create everything from a Truffle Pork Pie to a Persian Broadbean and Truffles salad. If you have a crazy truffle idea I want you to try it out in the kitchen.
I love to see people smile.
The reason I love being Mister Truffle is down to the people I meet on the way. People who have fun experimenting in the kitchen are the same people who’s lives are filled with laughter.
My favourite customer story is of Bill, who bought 7 grams of fresh white sprint truffle so that he could make his wife a Tournedos Rossini for their 50th Wedding anniversary. The same dish they had had on Honeymoon 50 years ago. If that didn’t make you smile, you’re not a chef.
