Erica and John recently opened Oaktown Spice Shop, a cute little boutique store in the Lake Merritt neighborhood of Oakland, CA. Their spice shop is full of tasty ingredients like tellicherry peppers, huge cinnamon sticks, a variety of paprikas, annatto, roucou and achiote. (Okay those last three are really all the same spice.)
