Gourmet Foods
While I’m the first to tell you to shop at your local grocery, farmer’s market or even warehouse store, there are times when you really want to find that one perfect ingredient to help you perfect a dish or to help you recreate a favorite meal enjoyed at a fancy restaurant. Here you will find online sources for ingredients from cheese to chocolate and from tea to truffles.
Cookbooks & Magazines
Not all of us can afford to go to The Culinary Institute of America, but there is still plenty of ways we can learn to cook and learn more about cooking. Cookbooks, ecookbooks and cooking magazines all offer instruction and inspiration. And to help you find the ones that will fit your needs best, there are also cookbook reviews to help you make your decision.
Shop Amazon
If you are looking for anything related to cooking or food or anything else you might purchase at Amazon.com, I urge you to start here at The Reluctant Gourmet. I have an affiliate program with them that generates revenue to keep this site operational. Whether it's a new food processor or DVD, please support this site by starting your shopping here. Thanks!
Fun Food Posters
Here you will find a whole array of food, drink and cooking-themed posters in a wide range of styles. You can get them framed or unframed, and there are so many available, you will be sure to find one that matches your décor. Mexican-themed kitchen? How about a chile pepper poster? Deco-era kitchen? Try an Art Deco Samovar print. Whatever your décor, I bet you can find a poster that will fit in perfectly.
Gift Ideas
Not only does this section contain links to shopping sites, but you’ll also find a collection of “caught my eye” articles highlighting some cool gifts that I would like to receive. Read up on why I think kindles and ipads are both the wave of the future in cookbooks, and find some unusual gift ideas that you may not have thought of otherwise.
