Traveling is magic. One of my favorite things about traveling is discovering the people stories, the human condition. Life is fuller when you travel with your eyes wide open and your heart full of warmth for your global citizens.  I love the opportunity that local dining offers for meeting locals and fellow travelers. These sections are restaurants I love amd ingredients for international cooking at home.

This is imported from Italy. My niece has health issues and this is the only flour she can use that doesn't bloat her or cause other irritations. I just bought a 50 lb bag and the the Gamma2 storage vault to keep it in. The Italian flours are process... This is the only flour I use now.

I have been purchasing this for the last year, and love it. It's a great deaI, especially as I use a lot of it daily. According to my purchase history, 1 lb bag lasts me about 4 to 6 months.  I have been researching the differences between Ceylon and Cassia cinnamon. Ceylon seems to be the healthiest.
