Exotic ingredients are a click away

Whether you're looking for fenugreek leaves or African bird peppers, real Muenster cheese or Spanish saffron, these are a few websites selling ingredients that make recipes from other countries as accessible as Betty Crocker's....

Tienda.com specializes in Spanish products, such as piquillo peppers, paprikas, bacalao, chorizo and those olive oils that go so well with potatoes, and it too has a good recipe database.
