The Gourmet Warehouse

The Gourmet Warehouse
is a wonderful place to shop for gourmet foods at reasonable prices.
They carry an impressive variety of often difficult to find ingredients
and some interesting kitchenwares.
When you walk through the
alley entrance to the Warehouse (it really is in a warehouse
district!), you're hit with bright displays of hundreds of items that
any foodie would want to try. From a wide range of condiments to pastas
to cheeses to sweets... I could spend hours there checking out new
items.
The Gourmet Warehouse also carries a nice variety of cooking utensils, pots and pans, baking supplies, ceramics and cookbooks.
And
for those who can't make it to Vancouver to shop, you can purchase
regularly stocked items on-line. The variety is limited compared to the
hundreds of items available at the storefront location.
The last
time I was there, I picked up some handmade pasta from Italy and a few
bowls with notches to rest chopsticks. I had to restrain myself from
filling up my basket with Salt Spring Island Cheese, Jamaican batch
#114 hot sauce, fig molasses, fleur de sel and chocolates in a Curious
George tin.
I could get carried away there. No need to say more!
The Gourmet Warehouse, 1340 East Hastings, 1856 Pandora Street (lane entrance), 253-3022
