01
Choose flexible staples
Rice, pasta, lentils, canned tomatoes and beans can become many different meals with a few fresh ingredients.
02
Add flavor deliberately
Oil, vinegar, spices, mustard and citrus can change a dish more efficiently than a crowded cupboard.
03
Store with intention
Keep dry foods sealed and dated. Make frequently used ingredients visible so they do not disappear behind new purchases.
04
Store spices away from heat
A shelf over the hob is convenient but often too warm. A cool, dry cupboard helps aromas last longer.
