Though I have a pretty good grasp of where to find ingredients that I like and use frequently at my local markets, when I start to look for something more unusual or simply more expensive, my search can become difficult. When my usual shops simply don’t carry the items I am looking for, sometimes the best solution is to turn to specialty stores, like asian or Mexican grocers. But if it turns out that I will have to make several separate trips to track down the ingredients I want, I will often turn to the internet. Igourmet is a great resource, which offers everything from specialty cheeses to spices and dry goods to oils. They also offer a wide variety of gift baskets. Penzys offers more than 250 different spices in its online catalogue. Thought their site is low on frills, it offers everything from the traditional, Middle Eastern Zatar to the spicy and popular Mexican Adobo.
Believe it or not, Amazon.com’s Gourmet Foods section also offers an impressively wide array of specialty food items. Large companies and small sell with Amazon, making products that are often only available in-store to consumers everywhere, like Moutarde De Meaux Pommery (a fabulous grain mustard) and Lyle’s Golden Syrup.
