The Spice Road: French Colonial Pantry

June 12, 2012

As summer approaches, I find myself dreaming of roses, Tunisia, Morocco, and orange-blossom semolina cake (I made six batches last summer). Sometimes the closest route to faraway lands is through the pantry, and these French Colonial pantry goods from Vancouver's Marché St. George might suffice.

Here's a selection of kitchen essentials: Harissa, green peppercorns, and smoked paprika, which all have the potential to transform your next dinner party.
