Since publishing my book Xtreme Gourmet I have had numerous people asking me where to get certain ingredients, and unfortunately some of the ingredients that were readily available in the supermarkets are not available in the shops any more. That is due to those pesky food manufacturers that sometimes delete products even though they are a great product, or the supermarket stop selling an item in a certain area as the market is not strong there. You should be able to find a substitute for something, or if not, shop online and see what you can find. There is
a plethora of ingredients you can buy online just as long as you don’t mind paying the postage.
This is not an exhaustive list as there is so much out there, but gee, it will get you a few good supplies. Except iHerb, all these online shops listed are Australian. I like to support the Australian businesses. Did I mention the petrol and kilometres you will save from shopping online? This also keeps a delivery driver in a job, win-win.
Disclaimer: this list was correct at the time of writing, but the information may change at any time. Also, I do not have any affiliate association with any of these companies, I just like some of the products they offer.
Where to buyEgg powder
This is expensive due to the process involved. You can always vacuum seal this product in small quantities and it will last for years, or share with friends.
Sometimes, if you are lucky, Farm Pride - Whole Egg Powder is available at some Coles or Woolworths supermarkets. It can be found in the baking section, or in the fridge near the eggs. Check online to see if the supermarket close to you has it in stock.
If all else fails you can use Orgran No Egg, Egg replacer, or Bobs Red Mill Egg Replacer which can be found in health food shops. Prices can be different depending where you get it from.
