Do you have a hard time finding certain ingredients like organic flour or gluten free baking mix? How about almond meal or tapioca flour? Well, if you are located in the area of Portland, Oregon, you have a great local option to purchase these and many other unique ingredients. In case you don't already know them, allow me to introduce and recommend a local business that you might find interesting and useful - Bob's Red Mill.Bob's Red Mill is a supplier of many kinds of flours, grains and other baking and cooking supplies. They are a great source for organic, whole grain, gluten free and other sometimes hard to find products.

Bob's Red Mill has a fantastic multi-grain pancake mix that I love to make. It's not heavy like other mixes I've tried.
I can't wait to try your mousse recipe. Great blog!
How strange that I was just squealing in the grocery store because they finally got Bob's Red Mill tapioca flour, and then I read it in your blog.
I'm going to be making your hazelnut scones shortly (if I can find hazelnuts here, that is.) I've been making preserves most of the night, and I have some creme fraiche in the fridge; scones would be perfect to go with my abundance of sconish condiments.
Love the blog!
Daniela,
Thanks for stopping by. I probably take for granted the ease of finding hazelnuts here in Oregon. I would suggest checking a few places: you local grocery store's bulk food section, where you may be able to find them raw - so you can toast them yourself. You may also check the bulk section of a health food department or store. Finally, you may try the baking section of your store as well. Either way, the best results come from toasting and grinding them yourself.
I had a chance to stop by your blog as well, looks like you've got some goodies worth trying there as well.
