  • About
The store cupboard should not be constructed to support a nuclear bunker, for many products deteriorate markedly with the passage of time. Olive oil, rice and flour are cases in point Items that I would always keep in stock are listed in the margin.

If you don’t make stock all the time, then cans of chicken bouillon can be added to a list which grows alarmingly. That little lot will set you back a considerable sum but of course, you do not have to have everything on it before you reach for a skillet In an ideal world, though, your cupboards will groan with most of the items since all can be found in the recipes of this book.
