Along with a pantry stocked with good olive oil, whole grain couscous, pasta, and breads, with onions, garlic, small red potatoes, celery, lettuce, and spices you can have a fabulous kitchen garden and plenty of gourmet things to eat. Try stuffing large vegetables with chili and cheese, or wrapping salads inside flat breads.... In the spring, you'll have plenty of time to plant a few pretty bulbs and maybe a tree on earth day.

herbes de Provence is a mixture of dried savory, fennel, basil, thyme, and lavender. Thyme is usually the dominant taste in the mixture.
ReplyDeleteFor a more Persian kitchen add dried fenugreek, tarragon, and dill to the list of herbs. Cabbage, white onion, sea salt, white pepper, ground turkey, and turmeric will keep the kitchen stocked with plenty of meat balls and cabbage slaws...
ReplyDeleteFor going Tex Mex which many of us love to do, I add canned pine apple slices, mangoes, peaches, and pears along with dried or fresh cilantro, corn, large jalapeno peppers, and red onions.
ReplyDeleteAnd to keep the simple and everyday Italian life, keep pasta and rice at hand to serve with freshly tossed salads, and sauces. I keep nutmeg, grated cheese, and a good variety of vinegars, and sauces.
