There are certain ingredients that I always come back to, pantry staples I like to have on hand to help me throw together a meal at the last minute. This is a shopping list of the items I usually keep in stock—a combination of classic never-fail basics and exotic products that can liven up a recipe in a pinch.

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil: Can’t live without it. The basis for 99 percent of my savory cooking.

Kalamata Olives: I always have a jar in the fridge. Great for giving a quick pasta or pan-seared chicken breast rich, salty flavor.
