If the drama of sending a flurry...

If the drama of sending a flurry of thinly shaved white truffles over pasta, risotto or scrambled eggs tableside before awestruck guests is appealing, you’ll want this stainless steel gadget from Italy. The tool has an adjustable, razor-sharp blade that produces paper-thin slices or slivers of white or black truffles (the thinnest setting is best). It also does double duty as a chocolate shaver.

Tagliatartufi Truffle and Chocolate Shaver, $15.95 from Sur La Table stores; $12 from Surfas in Culver City.
