Well Stocked. . .

Here’s a list of everyday foods that I like to keep stocked up on. I find it handy to know they are there to use, as and when I require them. Otherwise I rummage around my kitchen and end up making something that isn’t necessarily as healthy as I had intended. I also find that keeping the cupboard well stocked makes creating some recipes easier on the pocket, as I don’t have to buy all the ingredients in one go.

You’ll find as you go through this book that you use some ingredients, such as nuts, grains and spices, more than others. These ingredients are worth buying in larger quantities as it can work out to be far more cost-effective – providing you have the space to store them. I must admit that I have been known to use the top shelf of my wardrobe for dry food storage in the past!
