Iberico de Bellota Shoulder (Paleta) from Spain
First to recommend
Description
If you've ever watched the Anthony Bourdain special titled "Decoding Ferran Adria," you remember that at the beginning of the episode, before even even enters Adria's lab in Barcelona, Bourdain makes a stop at a ham shop in town. There, he has Jamon Iberico, the world's most prized ham. This particular cut takes it a step further, using only blackfooted pigs that dine on acorns and roam freely. The ham is expertly selected and cured and the prized shoulder pieces are thinly sliced for consumption. I recently found a store locally that had some and I picked some up at lunch. If you aren't as lucky, definitely order from La Tienda, who are probably the premier Spanish import company.
For the incredible background story (years of working with both governments to clear regulations), spend a few minutes on Google.

Transglutaminase Activa RM (Meat Glue)
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
Unless you have a Dow account and a bulk need for lots of meat glue, this place is the best to get it. You can get it in manageable (but still large) quantities. The newest darling child in the world of molecular gastronomy, Transglutaminase or "meat glue" binds proteins together for mind boggling treats. Imagine chicken cordon bleu or bacon wrapped scallops without the need for toothpicks.

June Taylor Organic Preserves
3 people recommended this item
Description
There's nothing like weekend breakfast or brunch after a hard week at work. June Taylor organic preserves from Northern California are just the answer to spread on top of pancakes or buttered toast. Shipping is reasonable and the flavor combinations are very unique - Meyer Lemon and Rosemary anyone?

BLiS Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup
First to recommend
Description
Everyone knows that aging anything in wood barrels makes it better. Usually. Certainly for this case. Aged maple syrup adds an intense deep flavor to whatever breakfast item you may be gracing it with. Pricey, I know, but you gotta pay to play.

Alinea Book
First to recommend
Description
Alinea is a molecular gastronomy powerhouse located in Chicago. It's chef, Grant Achatz has numerous articles written on his food, his restaurant, and especially about this mouth cancer that he has all but defeated. Alinea is considered by some to be the number one restaurant on the country.
They decided to self publish a cookbook and with it, a companion website called Mosaic (which is available now if you pre-order). If you order this from amazing, you can get it for just under $32. I decided to pay the full $50 and get access to Mosaic and a signed copy by Achatz and team when the book is released in October.
I've seen sample pages and it's simply amazing. They don't pull any punches and the recipes are exactly like they use in the restaurant.
