Dear Fellow Food Geek,

As an avid foodie and home cook like me, you undoubtedly know the high you get from making a memorable meal for family and friends. I’ll also bet that you have a healthy sense of curiosity and love learning about new ingredients and techniques.

Am I right?

Well, you’re not alone. More and more adventurous home cooks are beginning to play with the same modern ingredients used by world famous chefs like Ferran Adria, Grant Achatz, Heston Blumenthal and Wylie Dufresne.

But here's the problem.

Most uses of these ingredients require very small amounts, but suppliers only sell them in gigantic Costco size packages. And because they cater to the restaurant and industrial markets, home cooks like you and me are forced to buy far more than we actually need.

This just doesn't make sense!

It means that you end up spending more than you want to for heaps of specialized ingredients which take up space in your kitchen and lose their effectiveness before you have a chance to use them up.

I understand. Believe me. I do.

Janie (the love of my life) wasn’t exactly thrilled when I’d spend $93 for a kilo of Transglutaminase that sat for months taking up her cabinet or freezer space. And I know I'm not the only one who’s in that boat.

That’s why I started Modernist Pantry, where you’ll find a comprehensive single source of innovative ingredients... in small batches for home cooks like you and me.

Most for around $5 bucks!

So now

• You’ll have fun experimenting with new ingredients and techniques.
• You’ll discover new ways to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills.
• And you’ll get the satisfaction that you are not overpaying or wasting space or ingredients. (Maybe it’s my training as a software engineer, but I just hate waste and inefficiency. Don’t you?)

But wait there’s more... as they like to shout on late night TV.

If you place your first order today and use the code “SHIPFREE” at checkout, domestic shipping on your order will be FREE.

(BTW if you are ever in Cape Neddick, feel free to stop by to pick up your order in person and say hi. We are right on Nubble Road just 3 minutes from the famous lighthouse.)

Oh, I’ll also keep you informed as I discover new techniques and ingredients... so you can be among the first to find out.

Cheers!
