One thing people ask a lot is how to stock their kitchen. Aside from having a good fresh market nearby, there are a few things to have that keep well and are versatile. Five things I recommend (not necessarily just food):
- A sharp paring knife
- Nice plates (these are basic square ceramic plates for appetizers)
- Pea shoots (versatile, slightly sweet, keeps for over 10 days)
- Arugula (hearty, slightly bitter, easily mixes with vinaigrettes, can be served warm or cold)
- Sea salt (I prefer sel de mer - good course, grey sea salt from France)
What do you like to have on hand?
So glad you will be sharing your recipes with us. YAY!

I love this! I've been too chicken to try pea shoots but after hearing that they're slightly sweet I'll definitely give them a try! I like to always have some cilantro and rosemary on hand - two of my favorite herbs!
ReplyDeletetry "fleur de sel" is from france too is a top
ReplyDeleteYes, fleur de sel (flower of salt) is an excellent choice - has a mild flavor and courseness along with the "wet" feel. It's usually light grey or tinted pink (the pink is from a salt marsh). Pick the French made one if you find it in the store - it is slightly more expensive but better than the more commercial Portuguese-made one. Thanks!
