Spring into the Extraordinary: Why Your Next Gathering Needs a Touch of Truffle
Hi everyone — Wanda here!
As the sun begins to peek through in Toronto and the energy of spring starts to shift, I find myself thinking about one thing: connection.
There is a special kind of magic that happens when we open our doors and truly welcome the people who matter most.
I’ve always believed that when you invite people over, you’re doing more than just feeding them — you’re creating a memory.
So this season, why not try something a little different? Something elevated that will have your guests excited to circle the date on their calendar the moment they receive your invitation.
Whether it’s family, close friends, or your hard-working team, they deserve an experience that feels like a true celebration.
And that’s where the world of truffles comes in.
A Five-Generation Legacy & A Passion for the Plate
If you’ve followed the ROOT44 journey, you know that truffles are not simply a business for me — they are my heritage.
My roots go back five generations to the wild forests of Istria, and I take great pride in bringing that history, tradition, and respect for exceptional ingredients to your table.
When you browse the Pietro & Pietro Collection, you are experiencing the very best nature has to offer.
Along the way, I also love helping people discover just how easy it is to cook with truffles.
Creative Inspiration
Each product includes serving ideas and cooking suggestions to help elevate your everyday dishes.
Personalized Advice
I’m always happy to share pairing ideas or answer questions. Sometimes the smallest touch can turn a simple meal into something truly memorable.
20 Years of Crafting Unforgettable Experiences
For more than two decades I’ve had the privilege of designing and curating memorable events — from intimate dinners to high-impact experiences for banks, law firms, and wealth management teams.
One thing I can say with certainty:
People love discovering the fascinating world of truffles.
These interactive events are more than dinner — they are a truffle dining experience guests remember long after the evening ends.
What’s Coming This Spring at ROOT44
This season I’ve created several ways for us to connect — whether you want to cook together, travel with me to Croatia, or host something special in your own space.

Over the past 20 years I have had the pleasure of designing culinary experiences for executive teams, financial institutions, law firms, and private client groups.
