Food Guides

Nothing is more basic to human life than food. Beyond the bread-and-butter basics is a world of gourmet goodies waiting to be explored. Food is something that should be enjoyed with good company. Food can make a great gift for any occasion - why not treat someone special with some caviar  and Champagne,  just because you can? Don't be afraid to spice up your everyday meal with some flavored oils or exotic spices -- or make it interesting with a fried Oreo. The taste possibilities are endless. Bon appétit!

Luxury Items 

Does your local gourmet shop have you in a tizzy? Can you barely tell fois gras  from fondue,  truffle oil  from tomme de savoie?  Do tasting menus make you run the other way? Start with a few of these and let your tastebuds experience new delights!

Chocolate

If you think that all there is to chocolate are Hershey's bars  and M&Ms,  think again! Chocolate, the finest candy in the world, has gone gourmet.  Companies like Gertrude Hawk  and Ghirardelli  are making chocolate in varieties that will send you straight to flavor heaven.  Dark chocolate is popping up everywhere and organic,  fair-trade,  vegan,  biodynamic,  and other varieties are available. Gone are the days when your only flavor choice was whether you wanted peanuts  or almonds ; today, you can get chocolate flavored with lavender,  curry powder,  cinnamon and hot pepper,  or even bacon!   (And if you must have Hershey  or M&Ms,  you can try some of their new luxury lines!) Read the chocolate guide for more information.

Seasonings 

Spice up your cooking with a few items off this list. Don't be afraid to experiment with new flavors or flavor combinations. Sprinkle cinnamon  into savory dishes for a new flavor twist or toss your popcorn  with a splash of rosemary-flavored olive oil.  (Or try the reverse!) Delicious!

Cheese

What is more utterly satisfying for lunch than a hunk of "gouda"  cheese, a crusty baguette, and a piece of fruit? Indulge yourself with some of the favorites listed below, or go out on a "Limburger"  and try something new!

Meat Guide

Whether you just like to indulge in a steak  from time to time or meat is the be-all and end-all of your dining habits, you'll find information about the most popular meats here. (There's even something here for the vegetarians!)
