Il Tartufo D'oro, From Italian Earth to Hong Kong Table

This is the story of two different cultures brought together by one astonishingly expensive piece of food - a white truffle. Over an 11-day period, author and his photographer captured the drama behind the purchase of a record-breaking (~$175,000) truffle in Italy by the power-playing financiers in the gleaming heart of Hong Kong. It is an absorbing and sometimes eccentric tale of what happens when food, finance and disparate cultures collide.
