ISO: ISO Sandy in PA, and anyone looking for hard-to-find fresh herbs like sorrel:

[joe]

I found this site today:

www.herbchef.com

for fresh herbs by mail order. These folks are at my local farmers' market every week but this is the first time I used their website. I need lots of sorrel next week for the salmon/sorrel tarts we were discussing at post #202. (Here's that link)

I just ordered 6 9-oz bunches for $9.00, plus another $9.00 shipping. Not too bad for 5 tarts' worth.

CORRECTION: THE BUNCHES ARE ABOUT 3 OZ. MY MATH WAS OFF.

Looks like a good resource for when you need a lot of fresh herbs at once.

I'm destined to make those sorrel tarts.... Thanks from the Tartlet Apprentice

That's a great source. Thanks!

You're all very welcome I should have waited until I received my order to post it, >

but I was too excited.

 

[rvb]

btw, what size are the bunches?

 

[joe]

The site says 0.6 lb, which is a little over 9 oz. I'll see what I get.

Sandy, you may have to start with a quadruple recipe, to justfiy the $9.00 shipping >>

Can you swing that much free salmon?

 

[richard-in-cincy]

I doubt it, but then again, there's sorrel soup... lol!

In a pinch, it might save me the drive and the cost of parking to go into downtown Philly.

Oops, the site say 0.06 lb., but the bunches are about 3 oz. It did seem too good to be true.
