CHICAGO, March 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ Truffle Hunt, a foodies' dream novel, has been named to The Gourmet Today's "Top Ten Foodie Novels of All Time" list (thegourmettoday.com). Author Brent Petersen explores the most enticing food in the world, truffles, in one of the most exotic locations in the world, Istria, and the results will make you reach for your cooking utensils.
Food writer Frank Lasher is living the dream. New York City's finest restaurants are his office and the gorgeous Lisa is his dining partner. When Frank is given the chance to write a series of articles about the discovery of the world's largest truffle, he jumps at the chance. Who wouldn't want an all-expenses paid trip to Europe in return for researching this most expensive and exotic of foods? What Frank doesn't know is that instead of a working vacation in France or Italy, he's going to Croatia, a country just emerging from war. And, when he becomes a suspect in a murder, Frank must help find the killer before he can return home to claim Lisa's love.
"Truffle Hunt serves up a five-star gourmet feast of murder, hidden historical gems, deep family pride, a dash of humor and romance, topped with delicate slices of heavenly, golden truffles and a glass of nectar from the deepest Eastern European wine cellars. As a gourmand, mushroom hunter, animal lover and world traveler, I ate the delicious book up in just a couple of sittings. -Vesna Plakanis, Owner, A Walk in the Woods, Nature Guide Service
