Mail-order Resources
Supplemental material

Most of the food items mentioned in this book are available in supermarkets and at larger grocery stores. Even exotic foods such as kiwi fruits, carambola, and mangos are now being shipped throughout the country. Crystallized ginger, saffron, fresh herbs, and Asian food specialty items can be found in many supermarkets. Nuts, whole grains, seaweed, fresh juices, and tofu are available in health food stores.

But some ingredients can be hard to find, so I’ve included this appendix. These establishments sell herbs, spices, food products, and prepared foods by mail. Catalog prices and information were accurate as of the time of this writing, but changes do occur.

Please note: none of these businesses make magical or “supernatural” claims for their products, and you need not mention what you’ll be doing with them.

For updated information regarding mail-order sources of exotic foods and spices, see the latest issues of the food magazines listed below. Most bookstore chains such as Barnes & Noble, B. Dalton’s, and Waldenbooks carry most of them. If you can’t find these titles, write directly to the magazines for current subscription information.
