In 5...4...3...2...1

I recently answered this question for a publication... "What 5 ingredients would you reccommend that every home cook have on hand." This was my response:

5. butter
4. fresh herbs (including garlic...I know, it's a stretch)
3. salt (kosher)
2. bread...really, really good bread
1. cheese (right now I'm falling in love with fontina)

*Honorable Mention: fesh vegetables, pork/beef tenderloin

This picture was inspired by my most recent assignment at Sur la Table...organizing the pantry. Welcome spring cleaning!
