RESOURCES
Most of the ingredients called for in this book are readily available at your local Mexican bodega, Asian market, Indian spice shop, or the international aisle at a growing number of mainstream grocery stores. But if you cant track them down on foot, dont despair. You can find nearly any specialty ingredient online and have it shipped to your door. Here is a list of some of my favorite online resources for hard-to-find ingredients and specialty foods.
