A little list for a useful pantry
Start with the meals you make, not someone else’s idea of a perfectly stocked shelf.
Start with the meals you make, not someone else’s idea of a perfectly stocked shelf.
Look at your usual meals
Notice the ingredients you reach for most often. Those are better starting points than a long general list.
Keep the shelf readable
Group similar items and check dates and storage instructions. Make it easy to see what you have before buying more.
Leave a little space
A shelf you can use comfortably is more helpful than one packed to the edge. Revisit the list as your cooking habits change.
