Sarlat is one of my favorite towns on the Dordogne. I lived in Excideuil, about an hour away, for 2 years while selling my parents holiday home (don’t even ask about how much I regret that house and miss that area) anyway, there is a goose, duck & truffle market weekly in Excideuil mid Dec through January. I’ve bought some beautiful, fragrant truffles there and like you have made multiple meals from that chunk of black gold.

Next time you are there be sure and pay a visit to La Maison de la Truffe in Sorges. It’s a rather ordinary looking building housing a most extraordinary restaurant specializing in truffles. Sunday lunch is packed with local families enjoying any number of dishes staring the local truffle. My favorite dish is the scrambled eggs served with a lovely green salad. They are soft and creamy and are truly the perfect vehicle for that deep earthy taste.
