We know it can be frustrating to come across unusual ingredients in a recipe and have no idea where to find them. With online shopping it is much easier now than it used to be - but how do you know that the supplier is reliable and the products are good quality? EYB to the rescue - we are adding Buy links to ingredients so there is one link to suppliers that we or our members have personally vetted.

The first supplier we are working with is the fabulous spice company, Diaspora Co. We have loved their spices for a long time (I am addicted to their turmeric) so we are delighted to be sharing every spice they sell through our links. Not only are the spices top quality, they come in the cutest, colorful tins which are made from recycled aluminum, reducing waste and shipping costs. Importantly, the company is committed to paying their farmers in India and Sri Lanka a living wage, which is 3-4 times commodity and Fairtrade prices.

Wherever an ingredient is available to buy you will see the ingredient in blue - click the arrow to the right and you will see a Buy Now button with the suppliers listed. Where a supplier ships internationally (as Diaspora do) we will not list the country. If the supplier only ships to a certain area - then we will list the country.

We are interested to hear from members on what food products they order online as these are the links we should be providing. And we are also interested in what online suppliers you use in your own country. You can add a comment on this post or if you prefer, email us at info@eatyourbooks.com with "online supplier" in the subject field.

Update Feb 28: all products sold by Burlap & Barrel are now linked (note, although they show as US they also ship to Canada). And we have also added links for all VanillaPura and King Arthur Baking products. I am waiting to hear back from the other suppliers members have listed here.
