踏入白松露當造的季節，Cucina意籍總廚Andrea Delzanno特以來自意大利西北部阿爾巴(Alba) 的頂級白松露入饌，由即日起至2017年1月10日，以不同烹調方法精心炮製了6款白松露菜式，將白松露的獨特香味發揮得淋漓盡致，讓賓客細嘗「餐桌上之白鑽石」滋味。
阿爾巴是意大利的白松露之城，出產的白松露擁有獨特芳香、享譽全球，更是老饕熱愛的美食。香味濃郁的白松露配搭濃淡的食材皆宜，Andrea以矜貴的白松露配上多款各國食材入饌，為賓客製造意想不到的驚喜。
6道白松露菜式包括頭盤、主菜及甜品，款款皆散發白松露的獨特芳香。推介包括白松露及薯仔忌廉湯配水煮蛋 (港幣328)，味道濃郁的意大利有機雞蛋以攝氏65度低温慢煮後，半生熟的流心蛋黃，配上幼滑的薯仔忌廉湯，三款香氣互相輝映，味道非常匹配。慢煮法國黃雞胸伴白松露薯蓉、椰菜仔及白松露片 (港幣538) 是Andrea的另一推介，Andrea說「法國黃雞品質非常好，我以攝氏65度低温慢煮1.5小時將肉質保持嫩滑及多汁。配上時令的法國栗子、椰菜仔以及白松露，味道絕佳，適合於秋冬天品嘗。」
來自皮埃蒙特的Andrea擅長炮製意大利粉，秘製意大利蛋麵伴芝士配白松露 (港幣498) 更是他家鄉的菜式之一。煙韌的手造意大利蛋麵夾雜著雞蛋、Parmigiano芝士、牛油及白松露的芳香，香氣四溢。Andrea說「這菜式簡單又美味，是最能夠突顯白松露芳香的傳統食法。」
其他推介還有白松露雪糕配榛子仁蛋糕及意大利芝士泡沫 (港幣158)，新鮮的白松露與香滑的雪糕融為一體，馥郁芳香，每啖皆令人心醉。
請即蒞臨Cucina感受白松露散發之誘惑「味」力，白松露菜式由現在起至2017年1月10日，午餐及晚餐時段供應。
