I think anybody who likes cooking, likes doing so with quality ingredients but sometimes it can be a mission to find the right supplier, or to make sure that your producer of vegetables, fruits, and meat respects your own personal requirements (organic, biodynamic, fair trade, etc.)

It can also simply be difficult to find THE product that a recipe calls such as Tonka beans! It just happens to me this week…where in Cape Town can I buy Tonka beans???!

Well, I must say that I spend a great deal of my time looking for those places. And I found many!!

I have listed for you below a few of those. But if you would know other places of interest, I would be really happy to try them if you let me know, and I may add them to this list. MERCI!!
