I also use good-quality sea salt, such as Maldon. Eggs/dairy/stock/poultry: try to use organic, free-range where possible. If you are pregnant, avoid raw or lightly cooked eggs and unpasteurized cheeses. For stock I use either fresh or vegetable bouillon; Marigold Swiss Vegetable Bouillon Powder is very good. Citrus fruit: if the zest is to be used, buy unwaxed citrus fruit. Crème fraîche: American readers can substitute sour cream.
