A cook can’t live by pantry alone, but a well-stocked pantry can be the difference between a just okay meal and an utterly delicious one. It can also be the difference between getting a homemade meal on the table and relying on a frozen dinner. Think of the ingredients that make up the recipes in everything from magazines to Instagram that make your mouth water. What ingredients or ingredient combinations make them special? Once you start noticing these things you can add them to your pantry to also use in other ways. For instance, that soulful smoky paprika used in an easy paella recipe can also make air-popped popcorn or roasted vegetables irresistible. If you’re making a whole grain dish, low-sodium broth, whether chicken or vegetable, adds a depth of flavor beyond what mere water can offer. Need to add some protein to a salad? How about some canned garbanzos or tuna in olive oil?
