Sources

We live in an extraordinary age for sourcing ingredients. I wonder if soon these pages will become obsolete, given that even the most out-there ingredient can be Googled, purchased over the Internet, and delivered to your door. For instance, when I looked for a source for Ras el Hanout for the braised lamb recipe, I not only found a source recommended by cooking authority Paula Wolfert, I was also able to find a link to a recipe for the spice blend from Wolfert herself.

Also, because of the Internet, I’m usually available for questions via Ruhlman.com. Check my site for answers to commonly asked questions, for more information about me, or to contact me by e-mail. To find sources for tools mentioned in this book, such as a scale, thermometers, and mandolins, as well as my own tools such as the All-Strain straining cloths, see Ruhlman.com/shop.
