Smitten: Foodzie

Do you ever find yourself scouring your local markets desperately trying to find the perfect food item? Maybe it's carefully crafted chocolates for a friend, perhaps an organic hand pressed olive oil for perfect pasta, or possibly bright new tea blends to shake up your morning routine. Whatever it may be, we all have our culinary white whales.

Hunt no longer. Online retailer foodzie.com, in the vein of wildly successful etsy.com, is now open for business. This gem of a site introduces themselves as "an online marketplace where you can discover and buy food from small artisan producers and growers." The site's section is small but growing. Make sure to check in daily and you might just come across your white whale.
