Word of Ollie's remarkable talent spread like wildfire, capturing the attention of the local truffle hunters. They saw him as a potential game-changer in their search for these elusive gems. One day, the renowned truffle hunter, Jean-Luc, decided to put Ollie's abilities to the test.

With eager anticipation, Jean-Luc embarked on a truffle-hunting expedition with Ollie by his side. The duo ventured deep into the heart of the forest, exploring its hidden nooks and crannies. Ollie's tail wagged with excitement, knowing that a grand discovery awaited them.

As they continued their journey, the aroma of truffles started to fill the air. Ollie's nose twitched with delight, and he instinctively led Jean-Luc towards the source. They followed his trail until they reached a tree with golden leaves, known to be a hotspot for truffles.

Under the watchful eyes of Jean-Luc, Ollie started pawing at the ground. His excitement was contagious, and all eyes were fixated on the dog who could lead them to a prized truffle. With each dig, the anticipation grew thicker.

Finally, Ollie's persistent pawing yielded results. He unearthed a masterpiece, a truffle unlike any other ever seen before. It was twice the size of an average truffle, with an aroma so potent that it could make even the grumpiest person break into a smile.

The news of the magnificent truffle spread throughout the town like wildfire. Everyone marveled at the triumph of Ollie and Jean-Luc, wondering how this dog had achieved the impossible. The mayor even declared a special celebration in honor of Ollie's discovery.

But little did they know, Ollie had a secret plan of his own. Night fell, and Ollie couldn't resist the temptation any longer. He snuck into the Mayor's mansion, truffle in mouth, ready to indulge in the spoils of his triumph. And indulge he did!

The next morning, panic ensued when the townspeople discovered the missing truffle. They searched high and low, questioning everyone who could have been involved. But nobody suspected Ollie, who lay innocently in his corner, seemingly unbothered by the chaos he had caused.

Days turned into weeks, and the mystery remained unsolved. The truffle's disappearance became quite the scandal, leaving many scratching their heads. Jean-Luc was devastated, blaming himself for not securing the precious truffle properly.

However, Ollie had learned his lesson and realized the importance of honesty. One gloomy afternoon, as the rain poured down, Ollie stood in front of Jean-Luc, wagging his tail with remorse. In his mouth, he held the remains of the truffle, offering it as a symbol of his guilt and an apology to his master.

Overwhelmed with emotions, Jean-Luc forgave Ollie instantly. He understood the allure of a perfectly ripe truffle, and he couldn't hold it against his faithful companion. From that day forward, they became an inseparable duo, combing the forest together in pursuit of more truffles, each adventure more exhilarating than the last.

And so, the tale of the dog who ate the truffle became legendary. Every time truffle hunters set foot in the woods of Burgundy, they remember Ollie and the mischievous adventure that forever changed their lives. And though he may have been naughty, Ollie will always be remembered as the dog who added a touch of magic to the culinary world.

An authentic culinary journey—part memoir, part cookbook—introducing readers to the people, places, and food of Umbria

Veteran food critic Suzanne Carriero spent a year and a half in Umbria, and this is her intimate look at its ancient recipes, traditions, and the people who pass them on. Each of the book's eight chapters features local cooks, as their personal stories are as much a part of the cuisine's essence as are the crops they grow and the family dishes they prepare.

Anecdotes, sidebars, and boxes are used throughout the book to further illustrate Umbrian life—from buying a rabbit in the country, to making torta di Pasqua for Easter, to reading the Italian wine label, and drinking cappuccino after lunch (a serious breach in tradition). With a food and wine glossary included as a reference for travelers, The Dog Who Ate the Truffle immerses the reader in the people, cuisine, and lifestyle that few are privileged to experience. Suzanne's colorful stories and authentic classic recipes make for an intimate and illustrious travel cookbook.
