Aspirational store cupboard list

By

This list is truly aspirational.

The * items are probably the most useful (providing you like them) – all the other items are good to have if you are going to use them. The more items you have the more you can improvise – use leftovers and buy bargain fresh foods in an adhoc fashion and create a yummy meal.
