A&E The Well-Seasoned Traveler “Truffles” with host Doug Duda is the one of the best truffle programs produced to date. The setting is Provence, France, where Doug deftly navigates his viewers through the mysterious and delicious world of black truffles. It’s exciting, passionate, educational and beautiful all at the same time.
In 2011, Doug was the keynote speaker for the premiere Napa Truffle Festival. Check out his interview with Loni Stark of Stark Insider where he shares his simple recipe for a black truffle omelet. It’s so easy, but don’t skimp on the fine French butter!
