SOURCES and SUPPLIERS!

Black Sheep Cooking Club Sources

Here, on the sources page, you'll find a number of places
to help find what you need to prepare the dishes with the
same top quality ingredients we used at the restaurant.

Our favorite Sources and Purveyors. Great dishes start with great ingredients!

Places to find great ingredients:

La Espanola

You'll find both Spanish ingredients, condiments,
cheeses, equipment like Paella pans and Creme de Catalana dishes, and La Espanola's own Spanish style sausages and jamons! They ship, and they carry our DVDs!

The Meat House

The Meat House is another great source and you can get
many of the same items I used in the restaurant. They both
carry and you can order the same meats; lamb racks & loins,
New York, Chicken, Duck, Venison and more. They also carry
our DVDs and they are one of the places we hope to be doing
demonstration classes in the future.

Penjoyan Produce/Growers Ranch Market

This is the place where I shopped daily to get all my fruits, vegetables, fresh herbs, mushrooms, truffles, tortillas, dried fruits, nuts and more! And because they supply many of the best restaurants in and around Orange County, their market on Newport Blvd. has a great selection for the retail consumer also! They carry our DVDs and this is another place I hope to be doing demonstrations.

Growers Ranch Market
2016 Newport Blvd., Costa Mesa, CA 92627
(at 20th Street on Newport Blvd.)

DRYDOCK Fish Co.

This is my supplier for those great black mussels we used and for all kinds
of fresh fish. On their web site you'll find all the open air markets where you can pick up their products fresh every week. They carry the DVDs at their store in Fullerton and we are looking into the possibility of demonstrations at the open air markets, pending Health Department regulations and approval.

Savory Spice Shop

This is a great place to find fresh herbs & spices! I've spoken to owner Laura Shute and they will be very happy to help you either make Rick's Chef Salt (the same seasoning mix used at the Black Sheep) or help you to develop your own!

You'll find her shop in the Corona del Mar Plaza (across from Bristol Farms)
928 Avocado Avenue, Corona del Mar, CA 92660 (949) 717-7776

Pearson's Port
100 E Coast Hwy, Newport Beach, CA 92660-6134
(949) 675-6771
Another great place for seafood, specializing in Lobster and crab!
One of my favorites when I'm in the mood for a Bouillabaisse!

Trader Joe's

We bake with their Pound Plus Chocolate Bars, both the bittersweet and the milk chocolate. At the restaurant, we used their water crackers on our cheese cart.

Our Local Farmer's Markets

We are fortunate to have Certified Farmer's Markets all over Southern California. Check this web site for days and times of operation in and around your city. Here you will find fresh, seasonal goods all year 'round. We will feature these markets and how to prepare their goods seasonally, on the subscription site.

Professional Kitchen Equipment At Chef's Toys

This is one of the few places open to the public.
If they don't have it they'll order it!

These are some of the resources I've used for many years.
As time goes on I'll be adding more. Below are other options
for specialty items you may want to consider.

D'Artagnan
I can't say enough about the quality you'll find here. Fantastic confit,
duck fat, jambon, and other goods from the Southwest of France.
Yes, you'll pay but you're are paying for the best!

A Word About Confit

If you don't want to make your own, there are a number of producers you can find online, simply put Confit of Duck (or goose) in the search and you will find; Le Trois Petite Cochons, Maple Leaf, Rougie, Hudson Valley and more.
