I looked up the word sanctuary in the dictionary and the definition is as follows:

1. A sacred place
2. A refuge

I frequently take refuge in the sacred place that is Le Sanctuaire. It is the proverbial mecca for spices (and also, by the way, high end kitchenware). Among the wide range of spices you will be certain to find something you will love (and possibly will never have heard of before) that will transform an everyday dish into something exquisite.

Fany Setiyo will eloquently guide you through her products to make sure you come away with just the right thing for your palate. She turned me on to the many fantastic peppers gracing her shelves, among which I am particularly partial to the Tasmania and Chinese Long Peppers. The spices are fresh, aromatic and fragrant; quite simply, beyond compare.

They write on their website “Le Sanctuaire was conceived from the desire to provide only the rarest choice ingredients and restaurant-quality kitchenware to passionate chefs with the most discriminating appetite for culinary excellence.” That’s me. And probably you too!
