Rach shares her master shopping list of pantry staples that she likes to have on hand at all times.
We suggest printing it out and sticking it on the fridge — that way, you can easily scan your cabinets before going grocery shopping and pick up anything you're out of. Or, you can screenshot and save this list to your phone's camera roll so you can pull it up quickly.
Keeping these ingredients in your kitchen will help make mealtime even simpler, because you won't need to run out to the store every time you cook. Plus, some of Rach's recipes use ONLY cupboard ingredients, perfect for when you're really running short on time!
Check out Rachael's simple recipes for Frico Eggs, Garlic Confit and Easy Pizza Dough.
Rach's Tip: Buy the smallest unit of spices available so you can replenish them as they age. Anything over 6 months old should be thrown out. Salt and pepper are the exceptions to this rule and can be bought in larger quantities because you'll use more of them.
