Curtis Stone shared in a Q&A with Holiday Travel that his favorite ingredient is the white truffle. Stone explained, "They totally move you. I have an instinctual attraction to them. From the very first time I smelled them, I was like, 'Oh my god, what do we have here?' I was working in one of Marco Pierre White's restaurants and I can remember the truffle man coming in, opening the box, and that was it — I was completely drawn in." What makes the white truffle Stone's favorite ingredient?
In an interview with Princess Cruises, Stone went on to share that, until you've tried them, it is difficult to describe their taste. The international chef also noted he visited the region in Italy where this delicacy grows in Umbria, and the "flavor and aroma" they give food will "transform whatever you are cooking." He loves to slice, shave, or grate white truffles over pasta and thinks of it as a chef's expression of love.
Of course, all things harken back to that love of food and eating. As he twirled some pasta around a fork, Stone hilariously divulged when he is making his handmade tagliatelle or little ravioli that will be topped off with these truffles, he can't quite get the portions right. In fact, he always ends up with a little bit extra. (Same.)
