The Annual Urbani Truffles Academy Grant Program
The
inaugural 'Urbani Truffles Academy Grant Program' (www.urbanigrant.com)
was launched in 2007 to promote truffles and to inspire the use
of truffles by America's culinary professionals by illustrating
all aspects of fresh truffles and preserved truffle products.
The
grand prize is a one-week stay at Urbani's Accademia del Tartufo
in Umbria, Italy. The trip will include a tour of the Umbria region
and the Urbani facilities, a day of truffle hunting that will
allow a rare glimpse into the secretive world of the truffle hunter,
a lesson in the truffle supply process and a lesson in cooking
with truffles led by Accademia chefs.
Three
first-prize winners in the grant competition will receive $1,500
worth of Urbani preserved truffle products and an Urbani Truffle
book valued at $30.
Ten second prize winners will receive $500 worth of Urbani preserved
truffle products and a cookbook of top Urbani recipes.
All
qualified entries will receive an Urbani Tartufi cookbook and
all original recipes will be archived on the Urbani Grant Program
website as well as on Urbani Tartufi's general website.
In
order to qualify for the grant, culinary professionals must submit
one recipe _ which will be evaluated by truffle experts from the
Accademia del Tartufo who are experienced in the art of cooking
with truffles _ and answer a brief questionnaire. Entry forms
are available on the www.urbanigrant.com.
