After a HOT spring and summer, the grapes harvest is old news, and now the winemakers are working their magic in the cellars of Provence and the Côtes du Rhône. Cooler, damper weather signals the start of the black truffle season in Provence. The potential locations of these black diamonds are a closely guarded secret, but if you can find a supplier, you are in luck. Scramble some eggs and shave the truffle on top for a heavenly treat.
Since we are talking about treats, here are two recipes. First, author Colin Duncan Taylor shares his recipe for a traditional dessert from the Tarn - Mesturets. Made with butternut squash, our American readers might consider an alternative to pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving Day. And, of course, the December holidays are not far off; discover Virginie's recipe for a festive Bûche de Noël (yule log) and the history behind the traditional dessert.
