New Kitchen... New Start...

After about 4 months of renovating.. my kitchen is finally done. Whooot !! :)

The only problem I now face, is that I have to re-stock my kitchen cupboards ... in a space-efficient way.

If you're not following.. I'll explain. My entire kitchen size is 3m long by 1.4m wide.

And in this 3x1.4m space... I have my fridge, oven, stove top and dish washer.

Which leaves me about 1 set of drawers and some overhead cupboard space to fit in all my pantry items.

So keeping to essentials, and yet at the same time provide a wide enough spectrum to cover most the recipes I like to make on a regular basis, here is my list of 25:

Cupboard 1 (Oils & Sauces):

• Olive Oil
• Sesame Oil
• Chilli Oil
• Light Soy Sauce
• Japanese Rice Wine Vinegar
• Chinese Cooking Rice Wine
• Mirin

Cupboard 2 (Seasoning & Dried ingredients):

• Sea Salt
• Black Peppercorns
• White Sugar
• Dried Porcini Mushrooms
• Dried Shiitake Mushrooms
• Chilli Flakes
• Plain Flour
• Baking powder (to turn Plain flour into self raising flour)
• Tapioca Starch
• Dried Pasta
• Arborio Rice (for risottos)
• Jasmine Rice (for chinese cooking)

Cupboard 3 (Tinned & Bottled Things):

• Tinned Tomatoes
• Olives

In my fridge:

• Eggs
• Parmesan Cheese

Herbs & Other Aromatics:

• Rosemary (growing from my pot in the window)
• Garlic

Can anyone else think of any other must-have items to add to this list ?

Thanks in advance.. :)
