Herbs and Nutrition

I cook dinner every night for five people, so, when I have time, I like to attempt to switch things up a bit and make more unusual dishes.

Our area is rife with stores offering exotic-ish ingredients but, occasionally, I can't find things that are a wee bit different from standard "North American" food (which is, what? really?)
Anyway, DD tipped me off that Herbs and Nutrition, the bustling-since-it-opened health food store on Bloor, just west of Bathurst, carries some hard-to-find ingredients. 
Sure enough, I had trouble finding tamarind paste recently and I purchased it there.
Give it a try if you're ever hitting an ingredient brick wall, so to speak.
Cheers,
Vanessa
