I wanna play around with beer and science for cooking, like making stout beer "caviar" and serving them over icecream. But in order to do it I need Calcium Aginate and Calcium Carbonate.
I can't seem to find any sites via google where I can order stuff like that, and some of the other stuff I see folks like Heston Blumenthal, Ferran Adria, José Andrés and Thomas Keller use.
But in smaller, not so expensive quantities. I mean I want to spend a few bucks for a couple ounces rather than a couple hundred for a couple pounds.
Any of you chefs or enthusiasts know any sources? Is some of this starting to appear in cooking/chef's supply shops these days, or is it all still special order?
