  preserved lemons Ottolenghi Preserved Lemons

Amazing versatility is this lemon!

Preserved lemons are a wonderful go-to add-to a recipe kind of food. Use as a topping, an ingredient or as a taste-changer. Any place you use a lemon you can use a preserved one for more punch and flavor. This intense concentration of flavor is more than a lemon, it is a releaser of flavor in your mouth!

This combination of salt and lemon and time makes a flavor bomb when combined with chicken, for instance, by bringing out the best in your fowl. A bit like sardines, another flavor enhancer bomb, it might not appeal to all your senses right off the bat, but once you incorporate a preserved lemon into your next dish you might just find a new love.

  Landsea Gomasio Nutritious Sea Blend A Flavorful dose of Goodness

Gomasio is unhulled sesame seeds (goma) and salt (shio).

Brooke, the owner of Landsea Gomasio, found an abundance of bull kelp and nettles on the island at the same time she met a neighbor who taught her classic Japanese cooking. It was these friendly cooking moments that Brooke learned about gomasio.

We asked Brooke how she came up with her own personal blend and she told us,

“I realized this classic blend would be the perfect starting point from which to incorporate some of the nutritional wealth of the land and the sea. I replaced the salt with the more complex salinity of Bull Kelp and the bright note of Nettle. The result is Landsea Gomasio; a blend that supports the body with both the wisdom of tradition, and the nutritionally rich flavors of my home.”

  Fra'Mani Salami Fra'mani Salami

This Fra'Mani Salametto is a small, coarsely ground, garlic-scented salami. This Italian dry salami is rich in color, full flavored and robust - ideal for snacks and a handy accompaniment on picnics and outdoor excursions. Slice easily to desired thickness with a good knife. Each one is approximately 3/4 pound.

Fra' Mani Salametto pork comes from family farmers committed to the well-being of their animals and their land. The hogs are never given antibiotics, artificial growth hormones, growth-promoting agents or meat by-products. They eat only the finest grains and natural feed. This old-fashioned way to raise hogs produces pork of outstanding quality, which is the essential ingredient in all Fra' Mani salumi.

  Black Sesame Paste Black Sesame Paste

Black sesame seeds when toasted and made into a paste have this wonderful rich, nutty taste and a smooth feel! (Be sure to mix thoroughly as the oil will separate) Add castor (superfine) sugar and mix in to make a sweet paste. The granules don’t really dissolve, instead they give little balls of texture to tickle your senses with hits of sweetness.

Or add the honey of your choice to add a new level of complexity. The flavor of your honey will come through and can really add a wonderful twist to a pastry. Make your own Sesame Balls, spread it on toast or eat it with a spoon! It’s a food that can change your day or maybe the color of your hair…

  Balsamic Vinegar Category Balsamic Vinegar

Balsamic Vinegar

A truly wonderful "Balsamic" style vinegar is just that - wonderful. There is a change afoot to ensure that less-than-true balsamic vinegars cannot be designated as the authentic naturally aged "Italian Balsamic Vinegar".

There is something to be said for the DOP designation and for products to be monitored for quality and authenticity. On the other hand, there are amazing elixirs out there that will never have the official DOP designation from the Modena and Reggio Emilia consortium that are still, indeed, made the authetic way - the unique process is grapes cooked down and then is moved through a series of barrels often of different woods to age over years - and still delicious and special.

  Kishibori Shoyu - Soy Sauce Kishibori Shoyu Soy Sauce

Aged one year
From the moment we tried this we knew we had a touch of heaven. Though only aged 1 year (there are many aged longer) it is the perfect balance of flavor, saltiness and price. When Shoyu (Japanese for Soy Sauce) is made in the traditional way time is essential.

We have been loving this Shoyu for ten years so it's exciting to have this traditionally fermented aged shoyu.

  ChefShop Cocoa Powder ChefShop Cocoa Powder

The Best

"I use ChefShop Cocoa Powder to make what my family calls my "famous" molten lava cakes. I'm told they are of restaurant quality. But I also use it to make my own personal hot cocoas. I often give it a Mexican twist with a dash of cinnamon and cayenne. Rich!"
-- Susie

Best Cocoa on the Planet

"I have been using this exclusively for years now. I have a 'secret' brownie recipe that I make with this cocoa, syrup made from the cocoa and only the best ingredients. Everyone goes ga-ga over them. Syrup - so easy to make - anything that calls for cocoa I use this. Sometimes I mix just a touch into my coffee from a treat. If you have not tried this yet you need to. You WILL NOT be disappointed!!!"
