From crispy shoestring fries to pillowy homemade gnocchi, truffles add a dash of pizazz to any dish. But you don’t have to go out to dinner in order to experience all the truffle-flavored glory. Haute Living scoured two of our favorite gourmet grocers, Dean & Deluca and Eataly, for the best truffle products to help you prepare a truffle masterpiece in your own kitchen.
