The day before christmas is probably not the best moment to talk about experimenting with ingredients but maybe it inspires you to swap some main course ingredients with the desert ingredients. This lovely website makes you conscious of your ingredients by only sharing the key products of a recipe. No more boring wandering through your supermarket to check every item on your shopping list, this is all about getting the freshest products and cooking with your own imagination. Get inspired and share your own favorite.

Thanks Michael Hoy for starting this lovely project.

We were already a fan of Etsy but now we can even get our hands on the delicious hand made things by small passionate food producers. Buy directly from artisanal producers and growers at Foodoro and Foodzie. Via PSFK.

Our favorites: Mendocino Coast Kombu, Somebody’s Mother’s Chocolat, Chocolate Mexicano, Basil Truffle Oil and the Reserve California Estate Osetra Caviar. But actually we’d like to taste almost everything!

My friend Seroj pointed me on this delicious and beautiful designed tea. It makes me want to taste the first spring flush of 2009 Darjeeling from Nepal which is harvest in very small quantities especially for Meriage Frères in the cristal clear air of the Himalayan mountains. This is what I want when asking for a tea next time…
