3 Fill the Pantry and be Ready to Cook

When a recipe calls for chipotle paste or pomegranate syrup, be ready. The street food featured in this book frequently requires unusual ingredients and it can be frustrating trying to find them on the day. Stock up on your vinegars, oils, pastes and spices so you’re prepared to cook. Visiting your local Asian grocery or Mexican store is always an entertaining experience. Even if you don’t have that luxury, nearly anything is available online these days.
