There are worse ways to start the day than lounging in a bathrobe watching water birds frolic in the silvery shallows of the Tamar River while fresh truffle is shaved over your poached eggs and the condensation on your Bloody Mary catches the morning light. The sense of wellbeing is enhanced by the fact that this in-room breakfast won’t be the only encounter with locally harvested fresh truffles that day, or the next. The non-truffle action – tasting Tamar Valley wines, leisurely strolls around Launceston or nearby Cataract Gorge, making a dent in one of the best minibars in the country – isn’t too shabby either.
The truffle-themed lushness is part of one of the three luxury experience packages being offered by Stillwater Seven, the seven-room boutique hotel that shares a renovated 1830s flour mill building with Stillwater, one of Tasmania’s best and most reliable restaurants.
Stillwater Seven experiences include one that also takes in King Island, staying at Kittawa Lodge, and another called Me Time that’s all about seriously coddled solo travel. Every Day I’m Trufflin’ is a three-night package for those who can’t get enough of Tasmanian produce in general, but with a particular focus on the brilliant black truffles that have become an integral part of the Tasmanian winter dining landscape. If the idea of fresh truffles for breakfast, lunch and dinner appeals, you’ve come to the right package.

HEART AND SOUL
Not a vegetable but rather a flower bud that rises on a thistle, the artichoke is a complex delight. Its rewards are hard won; first you must get past the armour of petals and remove the hairy choke. Those who step up are rewarded with sweet and savoury creaminess and the elusive flavour of spring. Many of the recipes here begin with the same Provençal braise. Others call on the nuttiness of artichokes in their raw form. The results make pasta lighter and chicken brighter or can be fried to become a vessel for bold flavours all of which capture the levity of the season.
