Superfood Pantry

PANTRY GUIDE

The world is filled with interesting and unique flavors and ingredients! This is a list of my more commonly used staples. It is not entirely comprehensive, as I am always thinking of more ingredients to add. Keep in mind that some items are much more available than others and some can only be found in their season. 

Use this Pantry Guide as inspiration for classic, new or interesting flavor combinations.
You can also use it to highlight flavors that you detest! That way I’ll know not to include them in your meals.

These ingredients can be used for soups, salads, sauces, sides, drinks, dressings, snacks, dessert, and an unlimited amount of entrees inspired by many world cultures.
