Joel Palmer House Salmon Cakes with Truffle Mayonnaise
 
 
As a leading authority on mushrooms, those earthy little aphrodisiacs, Jack Czarnecki of Joel Palmer House has long been one of our favorite chefs. But now that he also hunts truffles, Czarnecki has shot up to the top of our list. This recipe incorporates Czarnecki’s Oregon White Truffle Oil. Now, we know truffle oil has received a lot of negative press of late. But Czarnecki’s product, which is one of the few to incorporate actual truffles, is a cut above. Although we love his food, what we like even more is the fact that thanks to Czarnecki’s Oregon Truffle Oil we can all afford to experience the truffles’ potent aphrodisiac power at home.
