Perhaps for you, but for us Yanks (and Rachael Ray is one), those are specialty items. You'd be hard-pressed to find any of those items (except cucumber pickles) in a regular American grocery store--even the chutneys.

Remember, Rachael Ray's ideas are centered around cooking for the common American--not someone who is going to toast their own spices or hunt down specialty items.
