Electrical Engineer / Manager by trade, but a cook at heart. My first epiphany of how good food could be was thanks to Chef Paul Prudhomme and his "Baked pork chops in onion gravy". Then living in Italy changed things again with the overwhelming realization that it's all about the ingredients. The Italians know how to eat, period. Then living in the French speaking region of Switzerland changed things again. Sauce, complexity, layers; Food as an art form.
Every spring, one must enjoy the fresh Morel mushrooms. In this case I used them in a pasta sauce with a few dried porcini and the liquid from their soak, topped with fresh parmigiano reggiano and some fresh black truffle from Italy. The fall truffles taste much better, but it seemed like the perfect opportunity for a funghi trifecta.
