Farmer’s Kitchen – Cooking With Truffles | Noojee Truffle Festival VIC

Step into the warmth of the Farmer’s Kitchen at Ashridge Truffles and discover how to cook with one of nature’s most extraordinary ingredients.

Hosted by a local truffle grower, this intimate 90-minute class offers a rare opportunity to learn how truffles are understood not just in the kitchen, but from the soil up.

You’ll be guided through the fundamentals of cooking with fresh truffles. How aroma works, when to add truffle for the best results, and the simple techniques that let this remarkable ingredient shine. Enjoy all this sipping a glass of local Pinot Noir which pairs spectacularly with truffle.

Together, we’ll make fresh truffle butter, explore the secrets of savoury and sweet truffle dishes, and taste a series of beautifully simple treats that demonstrate just how transformative truffles can be when handled well.

This is not a chef demonstration.
It’s a farmer-led experience that connects the story of the truffle, from earth to plate.

During this experience you will:

• Learn how truffles develop their unique aroma
• Discover the essential principles of cooking with truffles
• Make your own fresh truffle butter to taste and take home
• Watch a live demonstration of truffle hollandaise/truffle custard
• Enjoy guided tastings of seasonal truffle dishes
• Gain practical knowledge you can confidently use at home

Whether you’re new to truffles or already love cooking with them, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how to bring out their very best.

Afterwards, linger in the cosy farm setting, ask questions, and soak up the atmosphere of the Noojee Truffle Festival.
