Truffles 101: The Basics and Beyond with Aleksandar Acovski of Old World Truffles
Dive into the fragrant and luxurious world of truffles with Old World Truffles! Led by none other than Aleksandar Acovski—the heart and soul behind Old World Truffles—this experience promises an intimate peek into truffle lore.
Originating from a lineage of truffle hunters who’ve braved dense European forests for generations, Aleks embodies the rich legacy of his family’s commitment. Learn about the laborious process where these gourmet delights are discerningly sniffed out amidst sprawling oaks and chestnuts.
Why are truffles the ‘Rolls-Royce’ of the culinary world? What makes them so darn elusive (and expensive)? And most importantly, how can you get your hands on them (and maybe your nose into them)? Aleks will spill the beans… or should we say, the spores?
Known for sprinting around Metro Detroit delivering fresh truffles that probably jazzed up your last fancy meal, the “Detroit Truffle Dude,” as Aleks is fondly known around here, will show you that truffles aren’t just for ritzy restaurants. You can bring this luxury straight to your kitchen!
Workshops run from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.
So if you’re looking to make a full evening of it, we recommend dinner and drinks at FRAMEbar, our more casual side, before or after class.
