Joey at Salcedo carries rosemary plants and often sprigs. Also, the herb section of Rustan’s groceries at Rockwell and Glorietta also has rosemary particularly on Friday and the weekends.

i’ve been to salcedo and the lung center markets but i can’t seem to find fresh sprigs of rosemary for sale. would you know where? i’m planning on doing a rosemary themed gathering and i’ll use that from the appetizer to the dessert. thanks! i bought a shrub of rosemary but it died on me already. sigh.

Zita, they used to have it at Bacchus at the Shangrila Hotel but I am not sure if they still do. Also, there was supposed to be someone who made it and sold it from their home in Pasay somewhere but I don’t know how to contact them. Not a lot of help, I realize.

nononono, sherry vinegar even from Spanish sherry isn’t close to good balsamic at all. unless perhaps if you made the vinegar yourself from some good sherry (you just need a mother!). i concur with the balsamic vinegar reduction. not the same thing but lifts inexpensive balsamic to a whole new level.
