The ingredients that last — and unlock every recipe in this book.
This list is for ingredients that keep for a long time in the pantry or refrigerator and are less likely to be in every household. These are not short-term perishables like fish, meat, eggs, fresh herbs, or fresh vegetables.
The goal is not to build a complicated specialty pantry. The goal is to buy a small number of useful ingredients that make many recipes in this book easier.
These two ingredients appear in nearly every recipe in this book and are treated as staples rather than pantry additions. Keep a good butter (unsalted or salted — both work) and a bottle of honest extra virgin olive oil in your kitchen at all times. They are the fat foundation of the book.
