– This year I usually have truffles on my plates. Then I put the truffle griddle on the table, so the guests can cover the food with as much truffle as they want. When you put it in place, you smell this wonderful nutty and fat aroma, says Luqaz Ottosson as he stands by the fireplace on the outskirts of Rot and tastes freshly roasted sourdough sandwiches with today’s harvest.
