Probably not that unusual, but I always try to have cilantro and Greek yogurt on hand.

what do you use it in? I got some for an elborate Kenji recipe, which was good, but I never used it again. Still have it.


I've used it in stew once and savory pastries with cheese, but mostly I eat it on toast- at least a few times weekly.

Good quality pretzel bites in the freezer in case we have unexpected guests. Makes me feel so much classier than just pulling out chips and salsa!

Always have capers, good pickles, olives, anchovies, etc.

God I love the taste of anchovies in Caesar salad but oh my god the burps.

I don’t think I keep anything that isn’t pretty standard. I’ve got a kid with autism so we always have goldfish and a box of the crackers of choice at the moment, but that’s still pretty standard fare. I guess I’ve started keeping buckwheat flour for Smitten Kitchen’s buckwheat pancakes.

We love orgeat in cocktails but just purchase it - how do you make your own?

Sumac. I knew I liked it but I never knew quite what it was. I noticed it on a dish at our local Turkish restaurant and asked the waiter about it. Have had it on hand since! It adds a nice brightness to salad, popcorn, rice.
