A well-stocked pantry is a life saver. You’ll never be stuck with nothing to eat if you keep a set of essentials and favourites in your kitchen! Today I’d like to share with you what foods I always keep in stock. Whenever I run out of one of these, I go straight out and re-purchase it. I can’t go without these foods!
I tried to categorise them in a way that made sense to me. I hope it makes sense to you too, haha!

and of course Tea and coffee.
In what kind of dishes do you use, Ras el hanout? I never heard of it before.
Am I the only one who doesn’t like olive oil? I prefer canola oil, and some brands of grape seed oil.
All the best!
Ras el hanout is a North African spice mix, I use it mainly in stews and couscous dishes :) I’m not a big fan of olive oil myself, only have a tiny bottle of it, but some dishes just really call for that specific taste (especially Italian)
I don’t even know if I have enough money to have this in stock at all times ahahaha but it looks very yummy! Nevertheless, this post gave me the idea of making me a short list of, like, 10 items that I should always have. Maybe it will make cooking and buying food easier :)
I love these types of posts Lucy! :)
